Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى الْمَهْدِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ بَعْثًا إِلَى بَنِي لِحْيَانَ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ فَقَالَ لِيَنْبَعِثْ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالْأَجْرُ بَيْنَهُمَا.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, Harb ibn Shaddad narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, that Abu Sa'id, the freedman of al-Mahdi, told him, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent an expedition against Banu Lihyan of Hudhayl, and said: "Let one of every two men set out, and the reward will be shared between them."
