حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَجْلِسُ يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ لَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا بِشَرِّ مَا يَسْمَعُ،‏‏‏‏ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَاعِي،‏‏‏‏ أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The likeness of the one who sits and listen to wisdom then only speaks of the bad things that he had heard, is that of a man who comes to a shepherd and says: “O shepherd, give me one of your sheep to slaughter,” and (the shepherd) says: “Go and grab the ear of the best of them.” Then he goes and grabs the ear of the sheepdog.’” Another chain with similar wording.
