Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ لأَحَدٍ يَمْشِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ‏.‏ إِلاَّ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلاَمٍ قَالَ وَفِيهِ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏‏{‏وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ‏}‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ أَدْرِي قَالَ مَالِكٌ الآيَةَ أَوْ فِي الْحَدِيثِ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbdullah ibn Yusuf narrated to us. He said: I heard Malik relate from Abu al-Nadr, the freedman of ʿUmar ibn ʿUbaydullah, from ʿAmir ibn Saʿd ibn Abi Waqqas, from his father, who said: I never heard the Prophet say of anyone walking on earth that he was one of the people of Paradise, except ʿAbdullah ibn Salam. He said, “And concerning him this verse was revealed: ‘A witness from the Children of Israel has testified…’” He said, “I do not know whether Malik said ‘the verse’ or whether it was part of the hadith.”
