حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلٌ، أَوْ بَغْلَةٌ فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: بَغْلٌ، أَوْ بَغْلَةٌ، قُلْتُ: وَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: يُحْمَلُ الْحِمَارُ عَلَى الْفَرَسِ، فَيَخْرُجُ بَيْنَهُمَا هَذَا، قُلْتُ: أَفَلَا نَحْمِلُ فُلَانًا عَلَى فُلَانَةَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

✧ A mule was gifted to the Messenger of God ﷺ. I said, "What is this?" He said, "A mule." I said, "And from what thing does it come?" He said, "A male donkey is mounted on a mare, and this comes out between them." I said, "Should we not mount so-and-so on so-and-so?" He said, "No, only those who do not know do that."
