قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مَسْمُولٍ، ثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُخَوَّلٍ الْبَهْزِيُّ ثُمَّ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي وَكَانَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةَ وَالْإِسْلَامَ يَقُولُ:
نَصَبْتُ حَبَائِلَ لِي بِالْأَبْوَاءِ، فَوَقَعَ فِي حَبْلٍ مِنْهَا طَيْرٌ فَأَفْلَتَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِي إِثْرِهِ، فَوَجَدْتُ رَجُلًا قَدْ أَخَذَهُ، فَتَنَازَعْنَا فِيهِ، فَتَسَاوَقْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ قَائِلًا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ مُسْتَظِلٌّ بِنِطَعٍ فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَضَى بِهِ بَيْنَنَا شَطْرَيْنِ

✧ I set up snares at al-Abwāʾ, and a bird fell into one of the snares but escaped, so I went out after it and found a man who had taken it. We disputed over it and raced together to the Messenger of God ﷺ. We found him taking a midday nap at al-Abwāʾ under a tree, shading himself with a leather mat. We brought our dispute to him, and he divided it between us into two halves.
