Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَضَعَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ بِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Salamah Yahya ibn Khalaf narrated to us; 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Makhul, from Ghudayf ibn al-Harith, from Abu Dharr, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah has placed the truth upon 'Umar's tongue; he speaks by it.
