Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكُمْ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى دِينٍ وَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمْ الْأُمَمَ فَلَا تَمْشُوا بَعْدِي الْقَهْقَرَى.
