Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَبُولُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَغَيْرِهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَيَمَّمَ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ السَّلاَمَ ‏.‏

Translation

Uthman and Abu Bakr, the sons of Abu Shaybah, said: Umar ibn Sad narrated to us, from Sufyan, from al-Dahhak ibn Uthman, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: A man passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was urinating and greeted him, but he did not return the greeting.

Abu Dawud said: It is also narrated from Ibn Umar and others that the Prophet performed dry ablution and then returned the man's greeting.
