Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ جَابِرًا أَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ تَمَنَّى آخَرَ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ مِنْ نَخْلٍ تَمَنَّى مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ تَمَنَّى مِثْلَهُ حَتَّى يَتَمَنَّى أَوْدِيَةً وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ.
English Translation
Hasan told us, Ibn Lahi'ah told us, Abu al-Zubayr told us: that he asked Jabir, "Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, 'If the son of Adam had a valley, he would wish for another'?" Jabir said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, "If the son of Adam had a valley of palm trees, he would wish for its like, then wish for its like again, until he wishes for many valleys. Nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust."
