Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ يَقْبِضُ اللَّهُ الأَرْضَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَيْنَ مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Harmalah ibn Yahya and Yunus ibn Abd al-Ala reported to us; they said: Abdullah ibn Wahb reported to us: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Said ibn al-Musayyab, that Abu Hurairah used to say: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Allah will grasp the earth on the Day of Resurrection and fold up the heavens in His right hand. Then He will say, “I am the King. Where are the kings of the earth?”’
