حَدَّثنا عَبدة بن عُبَيد الله قَال حَدَّثنا يزيد بن هارون قال أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَن سُلَيمان بْنِ بُرَيدة عَن أَبيهِ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم فَقَالَ يَا رَسولَ اللهِ إني أحب الخيل فهل في الجنة خَيْلٍ قَالَ إِنْ يُدْخِلْكَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَلا تَشَاءُ أَنْ تَرْكَبَ فَرَسًا مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ يَطِيرُ بِكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ إلاَّ رَكِبْتَ قَالَ وَأَتَى آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسولَ اللهِ أَفِي الْجَنَّةِ إِبِلٌ قَالَ إِنْ يُدْخِلْكَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِيهَا مَا اشْتَهَتْ نَفْسُكَ وَلَذَّتْ عَيْنُكَوَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَن ابْنِ بُرَيدة عَن أَبيهِ إلاَّ الْمَسْعِودِيُّ وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَن ابْنِ سَابِطٍ
English Translation
Abda ibn Ubaydullah narrated to us, he said: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, he said: al-Mas'udi informed us from Alqama ibn Marthad from Sulayman ibn Burayda from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I love horses. Are there horses in Paradise?" He said: "If Allah admits you to Paradise, you will not wish to ride a horse of red ruby that flies with you in Paradise wherever you wish, except that you will ride it." Then another came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, are there camels in Paradise?" He said: "If Allah admits you to Paradise, then you will have therein whatever your soul desires and your eyes delight in." This hadith, we do not know anyone who narrated it from Alqama from Ibn Burayda from his father except al-Mas'udi, and others narrated it from Alqama ibn Marthad from Ibn Sabit.
