Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ نُسَيْرِ بْنِ ذُعْلُوقٍ، قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لاَ تَسُبُّوا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَلَمَقَامُ أَحَدِهِمْ سَاعَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ أَحَدِكُمْ عُمْرَهُ ‏.‏

Ali ibn Muhammad and Amr ibn Abdullah reported to us; they said: Waki reported to us: Sufyan reported to us, from Nusayr ibn Dhu‘luq, who said: Ibn Umar used to say, ‘Do not revile the Companions of Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace), for even a brief time spent by one of them with him is better than the lifetime’s deeds of any one of you.’
