Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَشَجَرَةً يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ، وَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ ‏‏{‏وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ‏}‏‏"‏ «وَلَقَابُ قَوْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ تَغْرُبُ».

Translation

Muhammad ibn Sinan narrated to us: Fulayh ibn Sulayman narrated to us: Hilal ibn ʿAli narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Abi ʿAmra, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: ‘In Paradise there is a tree whose shade a rider could travel through for one hundred years.’ And recite, if you wish: ‘and extended shade.’ ‘A bow-length of one of you in Paradise is better than all that the sun rises or sets upon.’

Translation notes
  • The English witness omits the opening ‘And’ before the quoted Qurʾanic phrase and parenthetically adds ‘the whole earth’ to the final comparison; neither is explicit in the Arabic.
