Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ظِبْيَانَ وَيَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي ظِبْيَانَ قَالَ غَزَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الرُّومَ فَمَرِضَ فَلَمَّا حُضِرَ قَالَ أَنَا إِذَا مِتُّ فَاحْمِلُونِي فَإِذَا صَافَعْتُمُ الْعَدُوَّ فَادْفِنُونِي تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْلَا حَالِي هَذَا مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.
English Translation
Abu Zibyan said: Abu Ayyub campaigned against the Byzantines and fell ill. When death drew near he said, "When I die, carry me, and when you engage the enemy, bury me beneath your feet. I will tell you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him - were it not for my condition, I would not have told it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, 'Whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.'"
