Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ يَزْدَوَيْهِ عَنْ يَعْفُرَ بْنِ رُوذِيٍّ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ وَهُوَ يَقُصُّ يَقُولُ يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَمَثَلِ الشَّاةِ الرَّابِضَةِ بَيْنَ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَكْذِبُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَمَثَلِ الشَّاةِ الْعَائِرَةِ بَيْنَ الْغَنَمَيْنِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq told us, Ma'mar informed us, from Uthman ibn Yazdawayh, from Ya'fur ibn Rudhi: I heard Ubayd ibn Umayr, while giving a sermon, saying, "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'The likeness of the hypocrite is like the ewe that lies down among the sheep.'" Ibn Umar said, "Woe to you! Do not lie about the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, only said: 'The likeness of the hypocrite is like the confused ewe wandering between two flocks.'"
