[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I saw him say during a journey, "We stopped at a place and he said to me, 'O Sa'd, go to that female goat and milk it.'" It was my duty to look after that place and the goats there. So I went and found a goat that was full of milk, and I milked it. I do not know how many times I milked it, and then I entrusted it to a man and got busy with the journey. The goat went away, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed me and said, "O Sa'd!" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the journey preoccupied us and the goat went away." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the goat went away with its owner."  

الطبراني:٥٤٩٦حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الرِّيَاحِيُّ ثنا عَامِرُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أُرَاهُ قَالَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ لِي «يَا سَعْدُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْعَنْزِ فَاحْلِبْهَا» وعَهْدِي بِذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ وَمَا فِيهِ عَنْزٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا عَنْزٌ حَافِلٌ فَحَلَبْتُهَا قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي كَمْ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ وَكَّلْتُ بِهَا إِنْسَانًا وَشُغِلْتُ بَالرِّحْلَةِ فَذَهَبَتِ الْعَنْزُ فَاسْتَبْطَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَيْ سَعْدُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الرِّحْلَةَ شَغَلَتْنَا فَذَهَبَتِ الْعَنْزُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَنْزَ ذَهَبَ بِهَا رَبُّهَا»
