“I was with my father in Bawazij and the cows came back in the evening. He saw a cow did not recognize it. He said: 'What is this?' He said: 'A cow that joined the herd.' And he issued orders that it be driven away until it disappeared from view. Then he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “No one gives refuge to a stray animal but one who is also astray.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2503)
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بِالْبَوَارِيجِ فَرَاحَتِ الْبَقَرُ فَرَأَى بَقَرَةً أَنْكَرَهَا فَقَالَ لِلرَّاعِي مَا هَذِهِ قَالُوا هَذِهِ بَقَرَةٌ لَحِقِتْ بِالْبَقَرِ لَا يُدْرَى لِمَنْ هِي فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَطُرِدَتْ حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يُؤْوِي الضَّالَّةَ إِلَّا ضَالٌّ»
