Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ، عَنْ جُعَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ لاَ يَكِيدُ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ انْمَاعَ كَمَا يَنْمَاعُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Husayn ibn Hurayth narrated to us; al-Fadl informed us, from Juayd, from Aisha, who said: I heard Sad (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I heard the Prophet say: No one plots against the people of Medina without melting away, just as salt dissolves in water.
