Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةَ عَن أَبِي بُرْدَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى يَا بُنَيَّ كَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرِيحُنَا رِيحُ الضَّأْنِ.
English Translation
Hasan b. Musa told us: Abu Hilal told us: Qatada told us, from Abu Burda, who said: Abu Musa said, "O my son, if only you had seen us when we were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and our smell was the smell of sheep."
