Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنْ تَزَالَ أُمَّتِي فِي مَسَكَةٍ مَا لَمْ يَعْمَلُوا بِثَلَاثٍ مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ بِانْتِظَارِ الْإِظْلَامِ مُضَاهَاةَ الْيَهُودِ وَمَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْفَجْرَ إِمْحَاقَ النُّجُومِ مُضَاهَاةَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ وَمَا لَمْ يَكِلُوا الْجَنَائِزَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا.
English Translation
Ibn Numayr narrated to us, al-Salt - that is, Ibn al-Awwam - narrated to us, he said: al-Harith ibn Wahb narrated to me, from Abu Abdur Rahman al-Sunabihi, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "My nation will remain in a good state as long as they do not do three things: as long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer waiting for darkness in imitation of the Jews; as long as they do not delay the Fajr prayer until the stars fade in imitation of the Christians; and as long as they do not leave funerals to be handled by the deceased's own family alone."
