Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَىٍّ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَرَفَ فِيهِ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَنْهَاكَ عَنْ حُبِّ يَهُودَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَهُمْ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ فَمَهْ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَتَاهُ ابْنُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَىٍّ قَدْ مَاتَ فَأَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ أُكَفِّنْهُ فِيهِ ‏.‏ فَنَزَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَمِيصَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ‏.‏

Translation

Usamah ibn Zayd reported: The Messenger of Allah went to visit Abdullah ibn Ubayy during the illness in which he died. On entering, he recognized that death was near and said, “I used to warn you against loving the Jews.” Abdullah replied, “Asad ibn Zurarah hated them. So what?” After Abdullah died, his son said, “Messenger of Allah, Abdullah ibn Ubayy has died. Give me your shirt so I can shroud him in it.” The Messenger of Allah took off his shirt and gave it to him.
