Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه – {لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى} قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاءِ.
Translation
Hafs ibn ʿUmar narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrahim, from ʿAlqama, from ʿAbd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding His saying, ‘He certainly saw some of the greatest signs of his Lord.’ He said: He saw a green covering that filled the horizon of the sky.
Translation notes
The English witness identifies the one who saw the green covering as the Prophet (ﷺ); the Arabic text here says only ‘he saw.’
