Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah — Hadith #47903

Muhammad ibn Bashar told us, saying: Muslim ibn Ibrahim told us, saying: Aban ibn Yazid told us, on the authority of Qatadah, on the authority of Shahr ibn Hawshab, on the authority of Abu Ubaidah, who said: I cooked a pot of food for the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he liked the foreleg, so I gave him the foreleg, then he said: Give me the foreleg, so I gave it to him, then he said: Give me the foreleg. So I said: O Messenger of God, how many forelegs does a sheep have? He said: By Him in whose hand is my soul, if you had kept silent, you would have given me the foreleg I asked for.
