Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ كَثِيرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ كَانَ قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَقُولُ لَنَا يَا فِتْيَانُ لاَ تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى الْحَسَنِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ رَأْيُهُ السُّنَّةَ وَالصَّوَابَ .
Translation
Ibn al-Muthanna reported that Yahya ibn Kathir al-Anbari told them: Qurrah ibn Khalid used to say to us, ‘Young men, do not let yourselves be overcome concerning al-Hasan, for his position was the Sunnah and what is correct.’
