Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ وَهَاشِمٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ الْعَامِرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَرْوَانَ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِّثْنِي حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَيُوشِكَنَّ رَجُلٌ يَتَمَنَّى أَنَّهُ خَرَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ الثُّرَيَّا وَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ شَيْئًا.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Shall I not tell you of your best and most purified deeds before your King, and the highest in degrees, and better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks and them striking your necks?' They said: 'Of course.' He said: 'The remembrance of Allah the Almighty.'
