Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْأَقْمَرِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا تُقَامُ الصَّلَاةُ حَتَّى تَكَامَلَ بِنَا الصُّفُوفُ فَمَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood among us and said: 'One thing does not transmit disease to another.' A bedouin stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about the camel that is in the sand (desert) with a healthy hump and clean skin — then a mangy camel comes among them and they all become mangy?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Then who infected the first one?'
