Arabic hadith text

وَرَوَى عِيسَى، عَنْ رَقَبَةَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَامَ فِينَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَقَامًا، فَأَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ بَدْءِ الْخَلْقِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مَنَازِلَهُمْ، وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ مَنَازِلَهُمْ، حَفِظَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ، وَنَسِيَهُ مَنْ نَسِيَهُ‏.‏

Translation

And ʿIsa related from Raqaba, from Qays ibn Muslim, from Tariq ibn Shihab, who said: I heard ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Prophet (ﷺ) stood among us one day and spoke at length, informing us about the beginning of creation until the people of Paradise entered their dwellings and the people of the Fire entered theirs. Whoever retained it retained it, and whoever forgot it forgot it.
