Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُفَدِّي أَحَدًا غَيْرَ سَعْدٍ، سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ ارْمِ فَدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي ‏"‏‏.‏ أَظُنُّهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us, from Sufyan, who said: Sad ibn Ibrahim told me, from Abdullah ibn Shaddad, from Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: I never heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, offer himself as ransom for anyone except Sad. I heard him say, ‘Shoot; may my father and mother be your ransom.’ I think this was on the day of Uhud.
