Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ : " كُلَّ ابْنِ آدَمَ تَأْكُلُ الأَرْضُ إِلاَّ عَجْبَ الذَّنَبِ، مِنْهُ خُلِقَ وَفِيهِ يُرَكَّبُ " .
Translation
Al-Qa‘nabi narrated to us, from Malik, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A‘raj, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The earth consumes every child of Adam except the tailbone. He was created from it, and from it he will be reconstituted.’
