Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَحَجَّاجٌ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بَشِيرٍ، يَخْطُبُ قَالَ ذَكَرَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسُ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَظَلُّ الْيَوْمَ يَلْتَوِي مَا يَجِدُ دَقَلًا يَمْلَأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Ja‘far and Hajjaj narrated to us; they said: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Simak ibn Harb, who said: I heard al-Nu‘man—meaning Ibn Bashir—delivering a sermon. He mentioned the worldly goods people had acquired. ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, spending the whole day doubled over, unable to find even the poorest-quality dates to fill his stomach.’
