Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ‏:‏ احْتَرَقَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَيْتٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَحُدِّثَ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ‏:‏ إِنَّ هَذِهِ النَّارَ عَدُوٌّ لَكُمْ، فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا عَنْكُمْ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn al-‘Ala’ related to us: Hammad ibn Usamah related to us, from Burayd ibn ‘Abd Allah, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, who said: A house in Madinah burned down at night with its occupants inside. This was reported to the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said: ‘This fire is your enemy, so when you go to sleep, extinguish it around you.’
