Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدٌ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً لَعَنَ بُرْغُوثًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ‏:‏ لاَ تَلْعَنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ أَيْقَظَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الأنْبِيَاءِ لِلصَّلاةِ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Bashshar related to us: Safwan ibn ‘Isa related to us: Suwayd Abu Hatim related to us, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik: A man cursed a flea in the presence of the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said: ‘Do not curse it, for it woke a prophet from among the prophets for prayer.’
