حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَ
جُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي جَارًا يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ لَا يَقْرَأُ إِلَّا قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ كَأَنَّهُ يُقَلِّلُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ

English Translation
Ishaq narrated to us, Malik narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Sa'sa'ah al-Ansari, from his father, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه), that a man said: O Messenger of Allah, I have sheep; should I graze them in that well (on the outskirts of Madinah)? He said: 'When the evening comes, gather your sheep. Slaughter one of them. Apply its blood to its stable.' — meaning that he should be steadfast and remain with the Muslims.
