Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ النَّضْرِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُفْتَحُ الْأَرْيَافُ فَيَأْتِي نَاسٌ إِلَى مَعَارِفِهِمْ فَيَذْهَبُونَ مَعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ.
