Muwatta' Malik 54-24

Translation

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked about a milk camel about to be milked, "Who milks this camel?" A man stood up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is your name?" The man said, "Murra (bitterness)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Sit down." Then he said, "Who milks this one?" A man stood up and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is your name?" He said, "Harb (war)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Sit down." Then he said, "Who milks this camel?" A man stood up, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "What is your name?" The man said, ''Yaish (he lives)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Milk!"
