Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ كَانَ يُقَالُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا أَخْرَجَ الْحَصَى مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ يُنَاشِدُهُ .
Translation
ʿUthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Abu Muʿawiyah and Wakiʿ narrated to us; they said: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Abu Salih, who said: It used to be said that when a man takes gravel out of the mosque, it appeals to him.
