Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبِي يَا بُنَىَّ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ نَبِيِّنَا صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدْ أَصَابَتْنَا السَّمَاءُ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ رِيحَنَا رِيحُ الضَّأْنِ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAmr ibn ʿAwn narrated to us: Abu ʿAwanah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Abu Burdah, who said: My father said to me: ‘My son, had you seen us with our Prophet ﷺ when rain fell upon us, you would have thought our smell was that of sheep.’
