Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ كَانَ وَاصِلٌ رُبَّمَا ذَكَرَ أَبَا الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيْلِيَّ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُ أُمَّتِي حَسَنُهَا وَسَيِّئُهَا فَوَجَدْتُ فِي مَحَاسِنِ أَعْمَالِهَا الْأَذَى يُمَاطُ عَنْ الطَّرِيقِ وَوَجَدْتُ فِي مَسَاوِئِ أَعْمَالِهَا النُّخَاعَةَ تَكُونُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَا تُدْفَنُ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Mahdi told us: Wasil told us, from Yahya ibn Uqayl, from Yahya ibn Ya'mar — Wasil would sometimes mention Abu al-Aswad al-Dili — from Abu Dharr, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The deeds of my nation were presented to me, the good of them and the bad of them, and I found among their good deeds the removal of something harmful from the road, and I found among their bad deeds spittle in the mosque left unburied."
