Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا دَعَا بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى مُوسَى لَوْ صَبَرَ لَرَأَى مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ الْعَجَبَ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ ‏‏{‏ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَىْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلاَ تُصَاحِبْنِي قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِي ‏}‏ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ طَوَّلَهَا حَمْزَةُ ‏.‏

Translation

Ibrahim ibn Musa informed us: ʿIsa informed us, from Hamzah al-Zayyat, from Abu Ishaq, from Saʿid ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbas, from Ubayy ibn Kaʿb, who said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicated, he would begin with himself and say: ‘May Allah’s mercy be upon us and Moses. Had he been patient, he would have seen wondrous things from his companion. But he said: If I ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as your companion; you have reached the limit of my excuse.’ Hamzah gave the longer version.
