Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الرَّحَبِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ فَأَلْقَى لَهُ وَسَادَةً فَظَنَّ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ أَنَّهَا حَرِيرٌ فَتَنَحَّى يَمْشِي الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى بَلَغَ آخِرَ السِّمَاطِ وَخَالِدٌ يُكَلِّمُ رَجُلًا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَخِي مَا ظَنَنْتَ أَظَنَنْتَ أَنَّهَا حَرِيرٌ قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَسْتَمْتِعُ بِالْحَرِيرِ مَنْ يَرْجُو أَيَّامَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ غُفْرًا أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلْ كُنَّا فِي قَوْمٍ مَا كَذَبُونَا وَلَا كُذِّبْنَا.
English Translation
Abu al-Yaman narrated to us: Isma'il ibn Ayyash narrated to us, from Abu Bakr ibn Abdullah — that is, Ibn Abi Maryam — from Habib ibn Ubayd al-Rahabi: that Abu Umama entered upon Khalid ibn Yazid, who threw down a cushion for him. Abu Umama thought it was silk, so he drew back, walking backward, until he reached the end of the row, while Khalid was speaking with a man. Then Khalid turned to Abu Umama and said to him, "My brother, what did you think — did you think it was silk?" Abu Umama said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "One who hopes for the days of Allah does not enjoy silk." Khalid said to him, "O Abu Umama, did you hear this yourself from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said, "Allah forgive you — you ask whether I heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Rather, we were among a people who neither lied to us nor were we lied to."
