حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ كَاتِبَهُ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ ظِلاَلِ السُّيُوفِ ‏" ‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ الأُوَيْسِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ‏.‏

ʿAbd Allah ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Muʿawiya ibn ʿAmr narrated to us; Abu Ishaq narrated to us, from Musa ibn ʿUqba, from Salim Abu al-Nadr, the freedman and scribe of ʿUmar ibn ʿUbayd Allah, who said: ʿAbd Allah ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with them both) wrote to him that the Messenger of Allah said: “Know that Paradise is beneath the shades of swords.” Al-Uwaysi also narrated it from Ibn Abi al-Zinad, from Musa ibn ʿUqba.
