Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، يَقُولُ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالْكَهْفِ وَمَرْيَمَ وَطَهَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ إِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْعِتَاقِ الأُوَلِ وَهُنَّ مِنْ تِلاَدِي‏.‏

Translation

Adam related to us; Shuba related to us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid say: I heard Ibn Masud say of Banu Israil, al-Kahf, Maryam, Ta Ha, and al-Anbiya: ‘They are among the ancient first ones, and they are among my inherited treasures.’
