أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
كَانَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ إِذَا غَزَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَمَلَ مَعَهُ رُمْحًا فَإِذَا رَجَعَ طَرَحَهُ كَيْمَا يَحْمِلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ لَأَذْكُرَنَّ هَذَا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ بِهَا فَلَمْ تَحْمِلْ ضَالَّةً»

✧ When al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah went on a military expedition with the Prophet ﷺ, he would carry a spear with him. When he returned, he would throw it away so that he could carry (something else). Ali said to him: I will certainly mention this to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Do not do that, for if you do that with it, then you have not carried a stray.'
