Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُرَاهُ ‏"‏ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ شَتَمَنِي ابْنُ آدَمَ وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَشْتِمَنِي، وَتَكَذَّبَنِي وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ، أَمَّا شَتْمُهُ فَقَوْلُهُ إِنَّ لِي وَلَدًا‏.‏ وَأَمَّا تَكْذِيبُهُ فَقَوْلُهُ لَيْسَ يُعِيدُنِي كَمَا بَدَأَنِي ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn Abi Shayba narrated to me, from Abu Ahmad, from Sufyan, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Aʿraj, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (ﷺ)—I think he said: ‘Allah says: The son of Adam insults Me, though he should not insult Me, and denies Me, though he should not deny Me. His insulting Me is his saying, “I have a child”; and his denying Me is his saying, “He will not restore me as He began me.”’
