حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْفَأْرَةِ تَقَعُ فِي السَّمْنِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ جَامِدًا فَأَلْقُوهَا وَمَا حَوْلَه
َا وَإِنْ كَانَ مَائِعًا فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بُوذَوَيْهِ أَنَّ مَعْمَرًا كَانَ يَذْكُرُهُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَيَذْكُرُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ و قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab — that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about a mouse that falls into clarified butter [samn — ghee]. He said: 'If it is solid, throw out the mouse and what surrounds it [and use the rest]. If it is liquid, do not go near it.' ['Abd al-Razzaq noted: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Budhawayh informed me that Ma'mar used to mention it with this chain as a saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It is also narrated via Ma'mar → Ayyub → Ibn Sirin → Abu Hurayra.]
