Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ بِالسُّجُودِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَنْظُرَ إِلَى بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ فَأَعْرِفَ أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَعَنْ يَمِينِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ أُمَّتَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ نُوحٍ إِلَى أُمَّتِكَ قَالَ هُمْ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ كَذَلِكَ غَيْرَهُمْ وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يُؤْتَوْنَ كُتُبَهُمْ بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ شَكَّ فِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَوْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ يَحْيَى فَيَقُولُ فَأَعْرِفُهُمْ أَنَّ نُورَهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَانِهِمْ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْمَرُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَوْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ فِي السُّجُودِ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Hasan told us: Ibn Lahi'ah told us: Yazid ibn Abi Habib told us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr, from Abu al-Darda, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'I am the first for whom permission will be given to prostrate on the Day of Resurrection, and I am the first for whom permission will be given to raise his head, and I will look before me and recognize my nation from among the other nations; and behind me likewise; and to my right likewise; and to my left likewise.' A man said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize your nation from among the other nations, from Nuh to your nation?' He said: 'They will be bright-faced and bright-limbed from the traces of ablution; no one else will be like that; and I will recognize them in that they will be given their record-books in their right hands; and I will recognize them in that their offspring will run before them.' Yahya ibn Ishaq told us, uncertain about it, he said: I heard Abu Dharr or Abu al-Darda say - Yahya said - he would say: 'And I will recognize them in that their light will run before them and in their right hands.' Ya'mar told us: Abdullah ibn Lahi'ah told us: Yazid ibn Abi Habib told me, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr, that he heard Abu Dharr or Abu al-Darda, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'I am the first for whom permission will be given in prostration,' and he mentioned something similar.
