قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ يُحَدِّثُ، وَابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَمَثَلِ شَاةٍ بَيْنَ رَبَضَيْنِ إِذَا أَتَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ نَطَحَتْهَا وَإِذَا أَتَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ نَطَحَتْهَا، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ: لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ بَيْنَ غَنَمَيْنِ فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ: بَيْنَ رَبَضَيْنِ وَغَنَمَيْنِ وَاحِدٌ. فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُهُ لَمْ أَقُلْهُ

✧ The example of the hypocrite is like a sheep between two flocks: when it goes to these, they butt it, and when it goes to those, they butt it. Ibn Umar ؓ said: It is not like that; rather, he said, "between two herds of sheep." Ubayd b. Umayr said: "Between two flocks" and "between two herds of sheep" are the same. Ibn Umar ؓ said: Had I not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say it, I would not have said it.
