Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْيَهُودِ إِنِّي سَائِلُهُمْ عَنْ تُرْبَةِ الْجَنَّةِ وَهِيَ دَرْمَكَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ فَسَأَلَهُمْ فَقَالُوا هِيَ خُبْزَةٌ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْخُبْزَةُ مِنْ الدَّرْمَكِ.
English Translation
Ali told us, Sufyan told us, from Mujalid, from al-Sha'bi, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to the Jews: I will ask them about the soil of Paradise, and it is white fine flour. So he asked them, and they said: It is bread, O Abu al-Qasim. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Bread is made from fine flour.
