Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ تَتَوَضَّأُ إِلَى جَانِبِ قَصْرٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ فَقَالَتْ لِعُمَرَ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرْتَ غَيْرَتَهُ فَوَلَّيْتُ مُدْبِرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَبَكَى عُمَرُ فَقَالَ أَعَلَيْكَ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغَارُ

Muhammad ibn al-Harith al-Misri informed us; al-Layth ibn Sa'd informed us; 'Uqayl narrated to me, from Ibn Shihab, who informed me that Abu Hurayrah said: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: While I was asleep, I saw myself in Paradise, and there was a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked: Whose palace is this? She said: 'Umar's. I remembered his protective jealousy, so I turned away and left. Abu Hurayrah said: 'Umar wept and said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, Messenger of Allah. Would I feel protective jealousy?

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic ends with the word “would I be jealous?” without an explicit object; the English witness supplies “against you” from context.
