Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ بِئْسَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يُكَلِّمُهُ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِ بِوَجْهِهِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ مَنْزِلَةً.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad told us: Shu'bah told us: Ibrahim ibn Maymun told us, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Masruq, from A'isha, that a man was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: "What a bad man he is, that brother of the clan." Then the man came in and began speaking with him. Then I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, turn his face toward him amiably, until I thought he had a special standing with him.
