حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ
أَنَّهُ طَبَخَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قِدْرًا فِيهَا لَحْمٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا، فَنَاوَلْتُهُ. فَقَالَ: نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا، فَنَاوَلْتُهُ. فَقَالَ: نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، كَمْ لِلشَّاةِ مِنْ ذِرَاعٍ؟ قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَأَعْطَتْكَ ذِرَاعًا مَا دَعَوْتَ بِهِ.

✧ "He cooked a meat dish for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which there was a pot, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Serve me the arm of the sheep.' So he served it to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Serve me the arm of the sheep.' So he served it to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Serve me the arm of the sheep.' So he said, 'O Prophet of Allah, how many arms does a sheep have?'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if you had remained silent, you would have been given a (living) arm the same size as what you have asked for.'"
