Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلاَنُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ الزِّمَّانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، إِنِّي أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالَّتِي بَعْدَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ahmad ibn Abdah narrated to us; Hammad ibn Zayd informed us; Ghaylan ibn Jarir narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Ma‘bad al-Zimmani, from Abu Qatadah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Fasting on the Day of Arafah—I hope for Allah’s reward that it will expiate the year before it and the year after it.’
