Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، أَنْبَأَنَا ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَتَبَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ إِلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ أَخْبِرْنَا بِأَىِّ، شَىْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَعَ سُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا ‏‏{هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah informed us: Sufyan informed us: Damrah ibn Said informed us, from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah, who said: Al-Dahhak ibn Qays wrote to al-Numan ibn Bashir: Tell us what the Prophet used to recite on Friday alongside Surah al-Jumuah. He replied that the Prophet used to recite the opening words, Has the story of the Overwhelming Event reached you?
