Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَقْوَامٌ هُمْ أَرَقُّ مِنْكُمْ قُلُوبًا قَالَ فَقَدِمَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ فِيهِمْ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْا مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ كَانُوا يَرْتَجِزُونَ يَقُولُونَ غَدًا نَلْقَى الْأَحِبَّهْ مُحَمَّدًا وَحِزْبَهْ.
English Translation
Ibn Abi Adiyy narrated to us from Humayd, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "There will come to you people whose hearts are more tender than yours." He said: Then the Ash'ariyyun came, among them Abu Musa al-Ash'ari. When they drew near Madinah, they were chanting, saying, "Tomorrow we shall meet our loved ones, Muhammad and his party."
