Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلمإِذَا أَتَاهُ السَّائِلُ ـ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ جَاءَهُ السَّائِلُ ـ أَوْ صَاحِبُ الْحَاجَةِ قَالَ " اشْفَعُوا فَلْتُؤْجَرُوا، وَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِهِ مَا شَاءَ "
Translation
Narrated Abu Musa
Whenever a beggar or a person in need of something came to the Prophet (ﷺ) , he used to say (to his companions), "Intercede (for him) and you will be rewarded for that, and Allah will fulfill what He will through His Apostle's tongue."
