حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَا ثنا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمَ ثنا الْأَزْهَرُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَاسِعٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قُرَّةَ قَالَ
ذَهَبْتُ لِأُسْلِمَ حِينَ بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُدْخِلَ مَعِيَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَاءَ حَيْثُ مُجَمِّعِ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَاعِي الْقَرْيَةِ الَّذِي يَرْعَى أَغْنَامَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَا أَرْعَى لَكُمْ أَغْنَامَكُمْ قَالُوا لِمَ؟ قَالَ يَجِيءُ الذِّئْبُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ فَيَأْخُذُ الشَّاةَ وَصَنَمُنَا هَذَا قَائِمٌ لَا يَضُرُّ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ وَلَا يُغَيِّرُ وَلَا يُنْكِرُ فَرَجَعُوا وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا جَاءَ الرَّاعِي يَشْتَدُّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ الْبُشْرَى جَاءَ الْبُشْرَى جَاءَ الذِّئْبُ فَهُوَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الصَّنَمِ مَقْمُوطًا فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَقَبَّلُوهُ وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ وَقَالُوا هَكَذَا فَاصْنَعْ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ «عَبَثَ بِهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ»

✧ I went to embrace Islam when the Prophet ﷺ was sent, and I wanted to bring with me two or three men into Islam. I came to the watering place where people gathered, and there I saw the shepherd of the village who tended their sheep. He said, “I will not tend your sheep for you.” They said, “Why?” He said, “A wolf comes every night and takes a sheep, while this idol of ours stands there, causing no harm, bringing no benefit, changing nothing, and disapproving of nothing.” They returned, and I hoped they would embrace Islam. When morning came, the shepherd came running, saying, “Good news! Good news! The wolf came and is now bound before the idol.” I went with them, and they kissed it and prostrated to it, saying, “This is what you should do.” Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him this story. He said, “Satan toyed with them.”
