وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ:
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ أَشْقَى الْأَوَّلِينَ ؟ قُلْتُ: عَاقِرُ النَّاقَةِ، قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ، فَمَنْ أَشْقَى الْآخِرِينَ ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا عِلْمَ لِي، قَالَ ﷺ: الَّذِي يَضْرِبُكَ عَلَى هَذِهِ، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى يَافُوخِهِ. وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: وَدِدْتُ لَوْ قَدِ انْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاكُمْ فَخَضَّبَ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: “Who was the most wretched of the ancients?” I said: “The one who hamstrung the she-camel.” He said: “You have spoken the truth. Then who is the most wretched of the latter ones?” I said: “I have no knowledge.” He said ﷺ: “The one who will strike you on this,” and he pointed to the crown of his head. And he used to say: “I wish that the most wretched of you would arise and dye this from this.”
