Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي، وَالنَّاسُ سَيَكْثُرُونَ وَيَقِلُّونَ، فَاقْبَلُوا مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ، وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ ".
Translation
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Ghundar narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us. He said: I heard Qatada narrate from Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet, who said: “The Helpers are my inner circle and confidants. People will increase while they decrease, so accept the good from those among them who do good, and overlook the wrongs of those among them who do wrong.”
