حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً، فَقَالَ: «ارْكَبْهَا»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ، فَقَالَ: «ارْكَبْهَا، وَيْلَكَ» فِي الثَّانِيَةِ أَوْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ.
