Muwatta Malik, Book 45, Hadith 13 (USC-MSA) ⓘ
Yahya related to me from Malik from a man who said, "Zayd ibn Thabit came across me while I was at al-Aswaf (on the outskirts of Madina). I had captured a hawk. He took it from my hands and set it free."
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَأَنَا بِالأَسْوَافِ، قَدِ اصْطَدْتُ نُهَسًا فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ يَدِي فَأَرْسَلَهُ .
