حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ:
كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ ذَوُو [١]حَاجَةٍ عِنْدَهُمْ رَأْسُ شَاةٍ، فَأَصَابُوا شَيْئًا فَقَالُوا: لَوْ بَعَثْنَا بِهَذَا الرَّأْسِ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا، قَالَ: فَبَعَثُوا بِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَدُورُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ الَّذِينَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ

He said: So they sent it, and it kept circulating around Medina until it returned to the people from whom it had set out.
