حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ خَالُ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ مُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَرِيرٍ بِالْبَوَارِيجِ فِي السَّوَادِ فَرَاجَعْتُ ال
ْبَقَرَ فَرَأَى بَقَرَةً أَنْكَرَهَا فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الْبَقَرَةُ قَالَ بَقَرَةٌ لَحِقَتْ بِالْبَقَرِ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَطُرِدَتْ حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا يُؤْوِي الضَّالَّةَ إِلَّا ضَالٌّ

English Translation
Mundhir ibn Jarīr narrated: I was with my father Jarīr at al-Bawārīj in al-Sawād (lowlands of Iraq). I was herding the cattle when he noticed a cow he did not recognize and said, 'What is this cow?' It was said, 'A cow that joined the herd.' He commanded that it be driven away until it disappeared. Then he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: No one shelters a stray animal except one who is astray.'
