حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا قَزَعَةُ، ثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ جُنَادَةَ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَدَخَلَ بِجَذَعٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَمِينٍ سَيِّدٍ، وَجَذَعٍ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ مَهْزُولٍ خَسِيسٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا جَذَعٌ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ مَهْزُولٌ خَسِيسٌ، وَهَذَا جَذَعٌ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَمِينٌ سَيِّدٌ، وَهُوَ خَيْرُهُمَا، أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: ضَحِّ بِهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ [يُحِبُّ] الْخَيْرَ

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and a man came and entered with a fat, excellent young goat and a lean, inferior young sheep. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is a lean, inferior young sheep, and this is a fat, excellent young goat, and it is the better of the two. Should I sacrifice it?' He ﷺ said: 'Sacrifice it, for Allah loves the better.'
