حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ظَالِمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ " اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَمَا عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ " . وَعَدَّهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَسَعْدٌ وَابْنُ عَوْفٍ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ .

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Ibn Abi 'Adiyy narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from Husayn, from Hilal ibn Yasaf, from 'Abdullah ibn Zalim, from Sa'id ibn Zayd, who said: I bear witness concerning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that I heard him say: Stay firm, Hira! There is none upon you but a prophet, a man of exceptional truthfulness, or a martyr. The Messenger of Allah then counted them: Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali, Talhah, al-Zubayr, Sa'd, Ibn 'Awf, and Sa'id ibn Zayd.

Explicit correction, version 2: the Arabic list names nine men and ends with Said ibn Zayd; the English witness inserts the Messenger of Allah into that list. Both the Arabic and English witness name Ibn Awf in the list.
