Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ إِنِّي لَجَالِسٌ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَبِي مُوسَى ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ، وَالْهَرْجُ بِلِسَانِ الْحَبَشَةِ الْقَتْلُ‏.‏

Translation

Abū Wāʾil said: “I was sitting with ʿAbd Allāh and Abū Mūsā, may God be pleased with them both. Abū Mūsā said, ‘I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say the same thing.’” Al-harj means “killing” in the language of the Abyssinians.
