حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعَنْ حَبِيبٍ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
" بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَنْزِعُ اللَّيْلَةَ إِذْ وَرَدَتْ عَلَيَّ غَنَمٌ سُودٌ، وَغَنَمٌ عُفْرٌ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ فِيهِمَا ضَعْفٌ، وَاللهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَمَلَأَ الْحِيَاضَ، وَأَرْوَى الْوَارِدَةَ، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنَ نَزْعًا مِنْهُ، فَأَوَّلْتُ أَنَّ الْغَنَمَ السُّودَ الْعَرَبُ، وَالْعُفْرَ الْعَجَمُ

✧ While I was drawing water that night, some black sheep and some light-colored sheep came to me. Abu Bakr came and drew one or two buckets, and there was weakness in them, and Allah forgives him. Then Umar came and it became a large bucket, and he filled the troughs and satisfied the thirsty. I did not see any genius among men better at drawing than him. I interpreted that the black sheep were the Arabs and the light-colored sheep were the non-Arabs.
