وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ:
الْغَنَمُ بَرَكَةٌ، وَالْإِبِلُ عِزٌّ لِأَهْلِهَا، وَالْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ، وَالْعَبْدُ أَخُوكَ، فَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَهُ مَغْلُوبًا، فَأَعِنْهُ
