Sunan Ibn Majah 3140
It was
narrated from ‘Asim bin Kulaib that his father said:
“We were
with a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
who was called Mujashi’, from Banu Sulaim, and sheep became scarce.
He
ordered a caller to call out that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
used to
say: ‘A Jadha’a suffices for whatever a two-year-old
sheep suffices.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُقَالُ لَهُ مُجَاشِعٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فَعَزَّتِ الْغَنَمُ فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏
"‏ إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ يُوفِي مِمَّا تُوفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيَّةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
