Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ أَنَّ ابْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا ذِئْبَانِ جَائِعَانِ أُرْسِلَا فِي غَنَمٍ أَفْسَدَ لَهَا مِنْ حِرْصِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ لِدِينِهِ.
English Translation
Ali ibn Bahr told us, saying: Isa ibn Yunus told us, from Zakariyya, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'd ibn Zurarah, that Ibn Ka'b ibn Malik related to him, from his father, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Two hungry wolves let loose among a flock of sheep do no more damage to it than a man's greed for wealth and status does to his religion."
