Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَنَّ دَاوُدَ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ كَانَ لاَ يَأْكُلُ إِلاَّ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ ".
Translation
Yahya ibn Musa narrated to us: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Mamar informed us, from Hammam ibn Munabbih, who narrated to us from Abu Huraira, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: “David, peace be upon him, used to eat only from the work of his own hands.”
