Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِهِ فَيُحِبُّهُ النَّاسُ قَالَ تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, who said: I heard Abu 'Imran al-Jawni narrating from Abd Allah ibn al-Samit, from Abu Dharr, who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man does a deed for himself and people come to love him for it." He said: "That is the believer's immediate good tidings."
