Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ كَانُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ بَيْنَ كُلِّ ثَلَاثَةِ نَفَرٍ بَعِيرٌ وَكَانَ زَمِيلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيٌّ وَأَبُو لُبَابَةَ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا كَانَتْ عُقْبَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَا لَهُ ارْكَبْ حَتَّى نَمْشِيَ عَنْكَ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَنْتُمَا بِأَقْوَى مِنِّي وَمَا أَنَا بِأَغْنَى عَنْ الْأَجْرِ مِنْكُمَا.
English Translation
On the day of Badr, there was one camel for every three men. The Prophet's riding companions were Ali and Abu Lubabah. When it was the Prophet's turn to walk, they said to him: 'Ride and we will walk for you.' He said: 'You are not stronger than me, and I am not less in need of the reward than you two.'
