Muwatta Malik: Book 54, Hadith 24
Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked about a milk camel about to be milked, “Who milks this camel?” A man stood up. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “What is your name?” The man said, “Murra (bitterness).” The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, “Sit down.” Then he said, “Who milks this one?” A man stood up and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “What is your name?” He said, “Harb (war).” The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Sit down.” Then he said, “Who milks this camel?” A man stood up, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, “What is your name?” The man said, ”Yaish (he lives).” The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, “Milk!”
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِلَقْحَةٍ تُحْلَبُ ” مَنْ يَحْلُبُ هَذِهِ ” . فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” مَا اسْمُكَ ” . فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ مُرَّةُ . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” اجْلِسْ ” . ثُمَّ قَالَ ” مَنْ يَحْلُبُ هَذِهِ ” . فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” مَا اسْمُكَ ” . فَقَالَ حَرْبٌ . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” اجْلِسْ ” . ثُمَّ قَالَ ” مَنْ يَحْلُبُ هَذِهِ ” . فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” مَا اسْمُكَ ” . فَقَالَ يَعِيشُ . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” احْلُبْ ” .
