Hadith #315
Arabic Text
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 الْمُ
نَافِقِ 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
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from 'Uthman ibn Yazdawayh, from Ya'fur ibn Rudhi — that he heard 'Ubayd ibn 'Umayr delivering a homily in which he said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The example of the hypocrite is like a resting sheep [sha'a rabida] among a flock."' Ibn 'Umar said: 'Woe to you! Do not lie about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ! the Messenger of Allah ﷺ only said: "The example of the hypocrite is like a wandering sheep [sha'a 'a'ira] between two flocks."'
