- قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي عَبْسٍ قَالَ:

كُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ ؓ فَمَرَرْنَا بِدِجْلَةَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَخَا بَنِي عَبْسٍ انْزِلْ، فَاشْرَبْ، فَنَزَلْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: انْزِلْ، فَاشْرَبْ، فَنَزَلْتُ، فَشَرِبْتُ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَخَا بَنِي عَبْسٍ مَا نَقَصَ شَرَابُكَ مِنْ دِجْلَةَ ؟ قُلْتُ: مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَنْقُصَ شَرَابِي مِنْ دِجْلَةَ ؟ قَالَ: كَذَلِكَ الْعِلْمُ لَا يَفْنَى فَعَلَيْكَ مِنْهُ بِمَا يَنْفَعُكَ

✧ I was with Salman ؓ when we passed by the Tigris. He said: 'O brother of Banu 'Abs, dismount and drink.' So I dismounted and drank. Then he said: 'Dismount and drink.' So I dismounted and drank. He said: 'O brother of Banu 'Abs, how much did your drinking diminish from the Tigris?' I said: 'How could my drinking diminish the Tigris?' He said: 'Likewise, knowledge does not perish, so take from it what benefits you.'
