حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ لَهِيعَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ وَعَنْ يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ لَهِيعَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْخَيْلَ الْمُنَفِّلَةَ فَإِنَّهَا إِنْ تَلْقَ تَفِرَّ وَإِنْ تَغْنَمْ تَغْلُلْ.

'Attab ibn Ziyad narrated to us, he said: 'Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, from 'Abdullah ibn Lahi'ah ibn 'Uqbah, and from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Lahi'ah ibn 'Uqbah, from Abu al-Ward, from Abu Hurayrah who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "Beware of the detached cavalry (who fight independently without a leader), for they flee when they encounter the enemy, and they steal from the spoils when they gain."
