Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: لاَ حَلِيمَ إِلاَّ ذُو عَثْرَةٍ، وَلاَ حَكِيمَ إِلاَّ ذُو تَجْرِبَةٍ.
Translation
Sa‘id ibn ‘Ufair narrated to us; he said: Yahya ibn Ayyub narrated to us, from Ibn Zahr, from Abu al-Haytham, from Abu Sa‘id, who said: “No forbearing person exists except one who has stumbled, and no wise person exists except one who has experience.”
