Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عِيسَى الْجَرَّارُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى بْنِ أَبِي الْمُسَاوِرِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْكُوفَةَ أَتَيْنَاهُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ فُقَهَاءِ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ حَدِّثْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَمَا الإِسْلاَمُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَتُؤْمِنُ بِالأَقْدَارِ كُلِّهَا خَيْرِهَا وَشَرِّهَا حُلْوِهَا وَمُرِّهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

'Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Yahya ibn 'Isa al-Jarrar narrated to us, from 'Abd al-A'la ibn Abi al-Musawir, from al-Sha'bi, who said: When 'Adi ibn Hatim arrived in Kufah, we came to him among a group of Kufah's jurists and said: Tell us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: I came to the Prophet, and he said: 'Adi ibn Hatim, embrace Islam and you will be safe. I said: What is Islam? He said: To testify that there is no deity but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and to believe in all the decrees—their good and evil, their sweetness and bitterness.
