Al-Samt wa-Adab al-LisanIbn Abi al-Dunya

718 — Muhammad ibn Sālih al-Qurashī also narrated to me, reporting from Qays ibn al-Rabī, on the authority of Abū Husayn, who said: Ziyād used to say, “A man may utter a word that would not cut off the tail of a masūr goat, yet if it reached his ruler, that ruler would shed his blood.” He said: ʿAbd Allah said, “A masūr goat is one whose milk is thick.”

٧١٨ - وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: كَانَ زِيَادٌ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ لَا يَقْطَعُ بِهَا ذَنَبَ عَنْزٍ مَصُورٍ، ولَوْ بَلَغَتْ إِمَامَهُ سَفَكَ دَمَهُ» قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: " الْعَنْزُ الْمَصُورُ: الْغَلِيظَةُ اللَّبَنِ "
