Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ النَّخَعِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَلْقَى النَّفَرَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَيَقْطَعُونَ حَدِيثَهُمْ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَإِذَا رَأَوُا الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَطَعُوا حَدِيثَهُمْ وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَدْخُلُ قَلْبَ رَجُلٍ الإِيمَانُ حَتَّى يُحِبَّهُمْ لِلَّهِ وَلِقَرَابَتِهِمْ مِنِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Tarif narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us; al-A'mash narrated to us, from Abu Sabrah al-Nakha'i, from Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, from al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, who said: We would encounter groups of Quraysh talking, and they would stop their conversation. We mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: What is the matter with people who talk, then when they see a man from my household, they stop talking? By Allah, faith does not enter a man's heart until he loves them for Allah's sake and for their kinship to me.
