حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ مُعَانِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي خَلَفٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْإِسْلَامُ ذَلُولٌ لَا يَرْكَبُ إِلَّا ذَلُولًا.

Abdullah narrated to us: my father narrated to me: Abu al-Yaman narrated to us: Isma'il ibn Ayyash narrated to us, from Mu'an ibn Rifa'ah, from Abu Khalaf, from Anas ibn Malik, from Abu Dharr, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "Islam is docile [like a tame riding beast]; only a docile one may ride it."
