Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُلَائِيَّ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ الْآخَرِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ حَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ.
English Translation
Aswad ibn Amir told us, Abu Isra'il — meaning Isma'il ibn Abi Ishaq al-Mula'i — informed us, from Atiyyah, from Abu Sa'id, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I am leaving among you the two weighty things, one of which is greater than the other: the Book of Allah, a rope extended from heaven to earth, and my kindred, the people of my household. The two will never separate until they meet me at the Pond."
