Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ فَقَالَ " أَلاَ رَجُلٌ يَحْمِلُنِي إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا قَدْ مَنَعُونِي أَنْ أُبَلِّغَ كَلاَمَ رَبِّي " .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Kathir informed us: Isra’il informed us: ‘Uthman ibn al-Mughirah narrated to us, from Salim, from Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, who said: At the gathering, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would present himself to the people and say, ‘Is there anyone who will take me to his people? Quraysh have prevented me from conveying the words of my Lord.’
