Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ مَا الأَعْضَبُ قَالَ النِّصْفُ فَمَا فَوْقَهُ .

Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us: Hisham narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: I asked Sa’id ibn al-Musayyab, ‘What is al-a’dab?’ He replied, ‘Half or more than half.’
