حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَيَتَّبِعُ شَرَّ مَا يَسْمَعُ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا شَاةً، فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ.

✧ The likeness of one who hears wisdom but follows the worst of what he hears is like a man who came to a shepherd and said: 'Give me a sheep from your flock to slaughter.' He said: 'Go and take hold of the ear of the best sheep.' So he went and took hold of the ear of the flock's dog.
