قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفُرَاتِ قَالَ:
اخْتَصَمَ إِلَى مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ رَجُلَانِ قَالَ: فَشَهِدَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ الْمَشْهُودُ عَلَيْهِ: وَاللهِ، مَا عَلِمْتُ إِنَّهُ لَرَجُلُ صِدْقٍ، وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْهُ لَيُحْمَدَنَّ أَوْ لَيُزَكَّيَنَّ، وَلَقَدْ شَهِدَ عَلَيَّ بِبَاطِلٍ، وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا اجْتَرَأَهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ مُحَارِبٌ: يَا هَذَا، اتَّقِ اللهَ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ يَعِظُ رَجُلًا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ. فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ: « وَإِنَّ الطَّيْرَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَتَضْرِبُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا وَتَرْمِي بِمَا فِي جَوْفِهَا مَا لَهَا طَلِبَةٌ

✧ Two men brought a dispute before Muharib b. Dithar. He said: A man testified against one of them, and the one testified against said: “By Allah, I did not know that he was a truthful man; if you ask about him, he will surely be praised or deemed reliable, yet he testified falsely against me, and I do not know what emboldened him to do that.” Muharib said: “O man, fear Allah, for I heard ʿAbdullah b. ʿUmar ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, while admonishing a man that day.” Then he mentioned the hadith, and said: «Indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, the birds will beat their wings and cast out what is in their bellies, though they have no claim to be sought»
