Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، حَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ سِيرِينَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَحْيَى بِمَا مَاتَ قُلْتُ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ. قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ".
