Hadith 28:664
Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Al-Sabah ibn Thabit al-Bajali narrated to us, he said: I heard al-Sha’bi saying: Al-Mundhir ibn Abi Humsa went out in pursuit of the enemy, and the noble horses caught up, while the pack horses lagged behind. So he assigned a share [of the spoils] to the noble horses and did not assign a share to the pack horses. He wrote to Umar regarding that, and that pleased Umar. Umar said in the narration of one of them: "May the mother of the Wadi’i be bereaved of him; he has indeed attained [a correct judgment] through it."
حدثنا وكيع قال ثنا الصباح بن ثابت البجلي قال سمعت الشعبي يقول إن المنذر بن أبي حمصة خرج في طلب العدو فلحقت الخيل العتاق وتقطعت البراذين فأسهم للخيل ولم يسهم للبراذين فكتب بذلك إلى عمر فأعجب عمر ذلك فقال عمر في حديث أحدهما ثكلت الوادعي أمه لقد ادركت به
