قَالَ أَعْطِنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلَهَا إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعْطِنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا لِلشَّاةِ ذِرَاعَانِ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ الْتَمَسْتَهَا لَوَجَدْتَهَا

Al-Dahhak narrated to us, Ibn Ajlan narrated to us, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), that a sheep was cooked. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Give me the foreleg.' So it was given to him. Then he said: 'Give me the foreleg.' So it was given to him. Then he said: 'Give me the foreleg.' He (the narrator) said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how many forelegs does a sheep have?' He said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, had you remained silent, forelegs would have kept being given to me as long as I asked.'
