Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي قَالَ قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْ لِي قَوْلًا وَأَقْلِلْ لَعَلِّي أَعْقِلُهُ قَالَ لَا تَغْضَبْ قَالَ فَعُدْتُ لَهُ مِرَارًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَعُودُ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَغْضَبْ.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Muhammad told us: Ibn Abi az-Zinad informed us, from his father, from Urwa, from al-Ahnaf ibn Qays, who said: A cousin of mine informed me and said: I said to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, "O Messenger of Allah, say something to me, and keep it brief so that I may retain it." He said: Do not become angry. I repeated my request several times, and each time the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, returned to me [with the same answer]: Do not become angry.
