Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الأَسْوَدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَرَأَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم النَّجْمَ بِمَكَّةَ فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا، وَسَجَدَ مَنْ مَعَهُ، غَيْرَ شَيْخٍ أَخَذَ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى أَوْ تُرَابٍ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَقَالَ يَكْفِينِي هَذَا‏.‏ فَرَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قُتِلَ كَافِرًا‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; he said: Ghundar narrated to us; he said: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard al-Aswad, from ‘Abd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surat al-Najm in Makkah and prostrated during it, and those with him prostrated as well, except for an old man who took a handful of pebbles or soil, lifted it to his forehead, and said: ‘This is enough for me.’ I saw him later, killed as an unbeliever.
