Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَا ثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ بَحِيرٍ عَنْ ضِرَارِ بْنِ الْأَزْوَرِ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي أَهْلِي بِلَقُوحٍ وَقَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ بِلَقْحٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلُبَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ دَعْ دَاعِيَ اللَّبَنِ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ لَا تُجْهِدَنَّهَا.
English Translation
Waki' and Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, they said: al-A'mash narrated to us, from Ya'qub ibn Bahir, from Dirar ibn al-Azwar, who said: My family sent me with a milch-camel — Abu Mu'awiyah said "with a milk-giving she-camel" — to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. I brought it to him, and he ordered me to milk it. Then he said, "Leave what induces the milk (do not milk her completely dry)." Abu Mu'awiyah said: "Do not exhaust her."
