tabarani:16733aʿAbdullāh b. Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal from my father > Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > Abū al-Zaʿrāʾ ʿAmr b. ʿAmr from his uncle Abū al-Aḥwaṣ from his father

[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.  

الطبراني:١٦٧٣٣aحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ثنا أَبُو الزَّعْرَاءِ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ وَصَوَّبَ وَقَالَ «أَرَبُّ إِبِلٍ أَوْ رَبُّ غَنَمٍ؟» قَالَ مِنْ كُلٍّ قَدْ آتَانِي اللهُ فَأَكْثَرَ وَأَطْيَبَ قَالَ فَتُنْتِجُهَا وَافِيَةً أَعْيُنُهَا وَآذَانُهَا تَجْدَعُ هَذِهِ فَتَقُولُ صَرْمَاءُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ سُفْيَانُ بِكَلِمَةٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا وَتَقُولُ بَحِيرَةُ اللهِ وَسَاعِدُ اللهِ أَشَدُّ وَمُوسَى اللهِ أَحَدُّ وَلَوْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ بِهِ صَرْمَاءَ آتَاكَ

ahmad:17228Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah Marratayn > Abū al-Zaʿrāʾ ʿAmr b. ʿAmr from his uncle Abū al-Aḥwaṣ from his father

[Machine] I came to the Prophet (PBUH) and he looked at me attentively and said, "Are you the owner of a herd of camels or sheep?" I replied, "From both, Allah has blessed me with abundance and excellence." He said, "Then you should give their offspring in charity, even with good eyesight and ears. Give them as charities, and Allah will reward you accordingly. Then Sufyan uttered a word that I did not understand and said, "May it be a blessing from Allah?" Then Allah's Messenger answered, "May Allah help you the most. Mousa (Moses) helped his family members the most. If you want, I can bring the offspring to you right now." I asked, "To whom should I call?" He replied, "Call them to Allah and to the ties of kinship." I said, "A man from my tribe came to me and I swore not to give him, should I still give it to him?" The Prophet said, "Make amends for your vow and give to the one who is better. What if you had two servants, one obeys you, does not betray you, does not lie to you, and the other betrays you and lies to you?" I said, "No, but the one who does not betray or lie to me and speaks the truth is more beloved to me." He said, "That is how you are in the sight of your Lord."

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."
