Muwatta 2785

Malik transmits from Ibn Shihab, from Ubaydallah ibn Abdallah ibn Utba ibn Masud, from Abdullah ibn Abbas (may God be pleased with him), from Maymuna, that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about a mouse that falls into butter; he said: take it out and what is around it, and throw it away. The editor sets out the variation in the routes of the hadith from Malik, and Ibn Abd al-Barr's view that Yahya's version is the best, while Ibn Bukayr and Abu Musab transmitted it as relayed (mursal). ¹
