Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَن مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى سَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَهُوَ مُحْتَبٍ بِحَمَائِلِ سَيْفِهِ فَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفًا فَاحْتَبَيْتُ بِحَمَائِلِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَا كَانَ مَفْزَعُكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا فَعَلْتُمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ هَذَانِ الرَّجُلَانِ الْمُؤْمِنَانِ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Rahman b. Mahdi told us, from Musa, from his father, from 'Amr b. al-'As, who said: "There was an alarm in Medina, so I came to Salim, the freedman of Abu Hudhayfa, while he was sitting wrapped in the strap of his sword; so I took a sword and sat wrapped in its strap. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O people, was your alarm not to be directed to Allah and to His Messenger?' Then he said: 'Would that you had done as these two believing men did.'"
