العربية (الأصل)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ مَرَّ أَبِي عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ غُنَيْمَةً لِي قَالَ نَعَمْ امْسَحْ رُعَامَهَا وَأَطِبْ مُرَاحَهَا وَصَلِّ فِي جَانِبِ مُرَاحِهَا فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْجَنَّةِ وَأْنَسْ بِهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا أَرْضٌ قَلِيلَةُ الْمَطَرِ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Yahya narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan, who said: Wahb ibn Kaysan narrated to me, who said: My father passed by Abu Hurairah, who asked: "Where are you going?" He said: "To a small flock of mine." He said: "Yes, wipe their noses, clean their resting place, pray in a corner of their pen, for they are among the animals of Paradise. Be gentle with them, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: 'It is a land of little rainfall'" - meaning Madinah.
