حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ نَزَلَ ضَيْفٌ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي الدَّارِ كَلْبَةٌ لَهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا كَلْبَةُ لاَ تَنْبَحِي عَلَى ضَيْفِنَا فَصِحْنَ الْجِرَاءُ فِي بَطْنِهَا فَذَكَرُوا لِنَبِيٍّ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مَثَلَ هَذَا كَمَثَلِ أُمَّةٍ تَكُونُ بَعْدَكُمْ يَغْلِبُ سُفَهَاؤُهَا عُلَمَاءَهَا
Translation
✧ ʿAbdullah b. ʿAmr said, “A guest once stayed among the Banū Isrāʾīl, and in the house there was a bitch of theirs. They said, ‘O bitch, do not bark at our guest,’ but the puppies cried out in her belly. They mentioned that to a prophet of theirs, and he said, ‘The likeness of this is the likeness of a community that will come after you whose fools will overcome their learned ones.’”
