أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدِ الْقُدُّوسِ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَزْهَرُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَاسِعٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ مَرَرْنَا بِحَيٍّ فَبِتْنَا فِيهِ، فَإِذَا الرَّاعِي قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْحَيِّ يَسْعَى، يَقُولُ: لَسْتُ أَرْعَى لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الذِّئْبَ يَجِيءُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَيَأْخُذُ شَاةً مِنَ الْغَنَمِ، وَالصَّنَمُ يَنْظُرُ لَا يُغَيِّرُ وَلَا يُنْكِرُ، فَقَالُوا: أَقِمْ عَلَيْنَا - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: حَتَّى نَأْتِيَهُ - فَأَتَوْهُ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا حَوْلَهُ، وَقَالَ لِلرَّاعِي: أَقِمِ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَقَالَ أَبِي: أُقِيمُ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ، فَبِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ صَلَاةُ الْغَدَاةِ، إِذَا الرَّاعِي يَشْتَدُّ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْقَرْيَةِ، يَقُولُ لَهُمُ: الْبُشْرَى أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ الذِّئْبَ مَرْبُوطٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الصَّنَمِ بِغَيْرِ وَثَاقٍ، فَجَاءُوا وَجِئْنَا مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ هَكَذَا فَاصْنَعْ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ، ﷺ، فَحَدَّثَهُ أَبِي الْحَدِيثَ، فَقَالَ: يَلْعَبُ بِهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ

✧ I was with my father heading to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When we were partway along the road, we passed by a settlement and spent the night there. The shepherd came running to the people of the settlement, saying: 'I will not shepherd for you any longer, for a wolf comes every night and takes a sheep from the flock, while the idol looks on without changing or objecting.' They said: 'Stay with us' – I think he said – 'until we go to it.' They went to it and spoke around it, and they said to the shepherd: 'Stay tonight.' My father said: 'I will stay tonight so we can see.' We spent the night, and at dawn prayer, the shepherd came running to the people of the village, saying: 'Good news! Do you not see that the wolf is tied in front of the idol without any rope?' They came and we came with them. He said: 'Yes, do like this.' Then we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and my father told him the story. He said: 'Satan is toying with them.'
