قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {مَا جَعَلَ اللهُ مِنْ بَحِيرَةٍ وَلَا سَائِبَةٍ} [المائدة: 103]

nasai-kubra:11090Mujāhid b. Mūsá > Ibn ʿUyaynah > Abū al-Zaʿrāʾ > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ from his father

[Machine] I came to the Prophet and he looked at me attentively and straightened up. He said, "Do you have any camels or sheep?" I replied, "God has blessed me with plenty of both and they are flourishing." He then asked, "Don't you mix them together, separating the males from the females, and you can discern between them by their ears?" I said, "Indeed, I do just that, with the help of God and the knowledge bestowed upon me."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٠٩٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزَّعْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ وَصَوَّبَهُ وَقَالَ «أَرَبُّ إِبِلٍ أَوْ غَنَمٍ» قُلْتُ مِنْ كُلٍّ قَدْ آتَانِي اللهُ فَأَكْثَرَ وَأَطَابَ فَقَالَ أَلَسْتَ تَنْتِجُهَا وَافِيَةً أَعْيَانُهَا وَآذَانُهَا فَتَجْدَعُ هَذِهِ وَتَقُولُ بَحِيرَةٌ وَتَفْقَأُ هَذِهِ ؟ سَاعِدُ اللهِ أَشَدُّ وَمُوسَاهُ أَحَدُّ

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he climbed a few steps and adjusted himself and said, "Is the Lord of a camel or the Lord of sheep?" He said, "From each, Allah has given me plenty and the best." He said, "Then produce it, having full eyes and ears." If she speaks, she says a word that I do not understand and she says, "Allah's lake" and "Allah's helper is the strongest" and "Moses is Allah's favorite" and if he wanted, he would show you something amazing.

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ , and he climbed onto a balcony and looked around. Then he said, "Which is better, camels or sheep?" I replied, "From each, Allah has given me many and they are abundant and good." He said, "You should breed them together, with big eyes and long ears. The offspring will be healthy and they will produce abundantly." Then Sufyan said something in a word that I did not understand. And she said, "God's Bayre and God's Sa'id are the strongest, and Moses, from God, is the most unique. If he wanted, he could bring you a lot of what you desire."
