Arabic (Original)
وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حَمْدَانَ الْجَلَّابُ ثنا هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الرَّقِّيُّ ثنا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنَّا فِي غَزَاةٍ مَعَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ مُجَاشِعٌ فَعَزَّتِ الْغَنَمُ فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ يَفِي مَا تَفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيَّةُ
English Translation
And Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, Abd al-Rahman ibn Hamdan al-Jallab informed us, Hilal ibn al-Ala' al-Raqqi narrated to us, Abu Hudhayfah narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us from Asim ibn Kulayb from his father who said: We were on a military expedition with a man from Banu Sulaym called Mujashi'. Sheep became scarce, so he ordered a caller to announce: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, a young sheep from the ewes suffices for what a two-year-old suffices for."
