English Translation

Abdullah ibn al-Harith told us, Shibl ibn Abbad told me, and Ibn Abi Bukayr - i.e. Yahya ibn Abi Bukayr - told us: Shibl ibn Abbad told us - the meaning being the same - who said: I heard Abu Qaza'ah relating to Amr ibn Dinar, from Hakim ibn Mu'awiyah al-Bahzi, from his father, that he said to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "I have sworn, thus" - and he spread out the fingers of his hands - "until you inform me of that with which Allah sent you." He said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, sent me with Islam." He said: "And what is Islam?" He said: "The testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and that you establish the prayer and give the zakat" - two brothers who support one another. Allah, Mighty and Sublime, does not accept repentance from anyone who commits shirk after his acceptance of Islam." He said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the right of the wife of one of us over him?" He said: "That you feed her when you eat, clothe her when you clothe yourself, do not strike her face, do not revile her, and do not forsake her except within the house." Then he said: "Here you will be gathered, here you will be gathered, here you will be gathered" - three times - "riding and walking, and upon your faces, you will complete seventy nations on the Day of Resurrection; you are the last of the nations and the most honored of them before Allah, Blessed and Exalted. You will come on the Day of Resurrection with gags upon your mouths; the first thing to speak on behalf of one of you will be his thigh." Ibn Abi Bukayr said: He gestured with his hand toward Syria and said: "To here you will be gathered."
