Abu DawudHadith #1599: Daif

حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلاَلٍ - عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ خُذِ الْحَبَّ مِنَ الْحَبِّ وَالشَّاةَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَعِيرَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرَةَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ شَبَّرْتُ قِثَّاءَةً بِمِصْرَ ثَلاَثَةَ عَشَرَ شِبْرًا وَرَأَيْتُ أُتْرُجَّةً عَلَى بَعِيرٍ بِقِطْعَتَيْنِ قُطِعَتْ وَصُيِّرَتْ عَلَى مِثْلِ عِدْلَيْنِ ‏.‏
