Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ جَابِرٌ أَفَاضَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَرْمُوا بِمِثْلِ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ وَأَوْضَعَ فِي وَادِي مُحَسِّرٍ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لِتَأْخُذْ أُمَّتِي نُسُكَهَا فَإِنِّي لاَ أَدْرِي لَعَلِّي لاَ أَلْقَاهُمْ بَعْدَ عَامِي هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muḥammad ibn al-Ṣabbāḥ narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rajāʾ al-Makkī narrated to us, from al-Thawrī, who said: Abū al-Zubayr said: Jābir said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed during the Farewell Pilgrimage in a calm and dignified manner. He instructed them to remain calm and told them to throw pebbles the size of those used in flicking. He quickened his pace in the valley of Muḥassir. He said, “Let my community learn its rites, for I do not know; perhaps I will not meet them after this year.”
