حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ مِخْرَاقٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَذْبَحُ الشَّاةَ وَإِنِّي أَرْحَمُهَا أَوْ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْحَمُ الشَّاةَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَهَا فَقَالَ وَالشَّاةُ إِنْ رَحِمْتَهَا رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ.

Isma'il b. Ibrahim narrated to us: Ziyad b. Mikhraq narrated to us: Mu'awiya b. Qurra narrated to us, from his father, that a man said: O Messenger of God, I slaughter the sheep and yet I have mercy on it — or he said: I have such mercy on the sheep that I dislike slaughtering it. He said: "As for the sheep — if you show it mercy, God will show you mercy."
