English Translation
Abu Hazim said: We were with Sahl ibn Sa'd at a funeral, and he narrated to them. Then he said: "I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and you are heedless? By Allah, I shall leave you." He was asked: "Where to?" He said: "I will go on a military expedition." I said: "At your age?" He said: "I will increase the numbers of the Muslims."
