Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَنَا لَا نُذْكَرُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا يُذْكَرُ الرِّجَالُ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَرُعْنِي مِنْهُ يَوْمًا إِلَّا وَنِدَاؤُهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا أُسَرِّحُ رَأْسِي فَلَفَفْتُ شَعْرِي ثُمَّ دَنَوْتُ مِنْ الْبَابِ فَجَعَلْتُ سَمْعِي عِنْدَ الْجَرِيدِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ { إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ } هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ { أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا }.
