Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دَعَتْهُ خَزَنَةُ الْجَنَّةِ أَىْ فُلُ هَلُمَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَاكَ الَّذِي لاَ تَوَى عَلَيْهِ‏.‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Adam narrated to us: Shayban narrated to us: Yahya ibn Abi Kathir narrated to us, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever spends two of anything in the way of Allah will be called by the keepers of Paradise: “O so-and-so, come!”’ Abu Bakr said, ‘That person will suffer no loss.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘I hope you will be one of them.’

Translation notes
  • The Arabic says ‘two of anything’ without specifying particular items; the English witness adds ‘objects.’
