Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي رَمَضَانَ حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ، وَكَانَ جِبْرِيلُ يَلْقَاهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَيُدَارِسُهُ الْقُرْآنَ، فَلَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَجْوَدُ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ‏.‏ وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ‏.‏ وَرَوَى أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَفَاطِمَةُ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يُعَارِضُهُ الْقُرْآنَ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Muqatil narrated to us: ʿAbd Allah informed us: Yunus informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿAbd Allah narrated to me, from Ibn ʿAbbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the most generous of people, and he was at his most generous in Ramadan, when Gabriel met him. Gabriel would meet him every night in Ramadan and review the Qurʾan with him. When Gabriel met him, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was more generous in doing good than the freely blowing wind. ʿAbd Allah also related this with the same chain, in similar wording. Abu Hurayra and Fatima (may Allah be pleased with them both) related from the Prophet (ﷺ) that Gabriel used to review the Qurʾan with him.
