Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَحْلٍ فَأَنَاخَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ عَقَلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مُتَّكِئٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَالُوا هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الأَبْيَضُ الْمُتَّكِئُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَا ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ قَدْ أَجَبْتُكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ وَمُشَدِّدٌ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَلاَ تَجِدَنَّ عَلَىَّ فِي نَفْسِكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ سَلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ نَشَدْتُكَ بِرَبِّكَ وَرَبِّ مَنْ قَبْلَكَ آللَّهُ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَى النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَصُومَ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِنَا فَتَقْسِمَهَا عَلَى فُقَرَائِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ آمَنْتُ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَأَنَا رَسُولُ مَنْ وَرَائِي مِنْ قَوْمِي ‏.‏ وَأَنَا ضِمَامُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ أَخُو بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Isa ibn Hammad al-Misri narrated to us; al-Layth ibn Sa‘d informed us, from Sa‘id al-Maqburi, from Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Namir, who said that he heard Anas ibn Malik say: While we were sitting in the mosque, a man entered riding a mount. He made it kneel in the mosque and tethered it, then asked them, ‘Which of you is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah?’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was reclining among them. They said, ‘That fair-skinned man reclining there.’ The man said to him, ‘O son of Abd al-Muttalib.’ The Prophet said, ‘I am here; I have answered you.’ The man said, ‘Muhammad, I am going to question you insistently, so do not take offense at me.’ He replied, ‘Ask whatever you wish.’ The man said, ‘I adjure you by your Lord and the Lord of those before you: has Allah sent you to all people?’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘O Allah, yes.’ He asked, ‘I adjure you by Allah: did Allah command you to pray the five prayers each day and night?’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘O Allah, yes.’ He asked, ‘I adjure you by Allah: did Allah command you to fast this month of the year?’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘O Allah, yes.’ He asked, ‘I adjure you by Allah: did Allah command you to take this alms from our wealthy and distribute it among our poor?’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘O Allah, yes.’ The man said, ‘I believe in what you have brought, and I am the envoy of those of my people who are behind me. I am Dimam ibn Tha‘labah, the brother of Banu Sa‘d ibn Bakr.’
