Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَحْقِرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَفْسَهُ إِذَا رَأَى أَمْرَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ مَقَالًا فَلَا يَقُولُ بِهِ فَيَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَقَدْ أَضَاعَ ذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُ مَا مَنَعَكَ فَيَقُولُ خَشِيتُ النَّاسَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا كُنْتُ أَحَقَّ أَنْ تَخْشَى.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'ba told us, from Amr ibn Murra, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from a man, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Let none of you belittle himself, when he sees a matter of Allah concerning which there is something to be said, yet does not say it, so that he meets Allah having neglected that, and He says: 'What prevented you?' and he says: 'I feared the people,' and He says: 'It was I whom you had more right to fear.'"
