Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مِنَ الْجُحْفَةِ وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ يَلَمْلَمَ وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ مِنْ قَرْنٍ وَمُهَلُّ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ مِنْ ذَاتِ عِرْقٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ لِلأُفُقِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَقْبِلْ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us: Ibrāhīm ibn Yazīd narrated to us, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, addressed us and said: “The place where the people of Medina enter consecration is Dhū al-Ḥulayfah; the people of Syria, al-Juḥfah; the people of Yemen, Yalamlam; the people of Najd, Qarn; and the people of the east, Dhāt ʿIrq.” Then he turned his face toward the horizon and said: “O God, turn their hearts toward You.”
