Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَحَفِظَهُ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَشَفَّعَهُ فِي عَشَرَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ كُلُّهُمْ قَدِ اسْتَوْجَبُوا النَّارَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr ibn Uthman ibn Said ibn Kathir ibn Dinar al-Himsi reported to us: Muhammad ibn Harb reported to us, from Abu Umar, from Kathir ibn Zadhan, from Asim ibn Damrah, from Ali ibn Abi Talib, who said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Whoever recites the Quran and memorizes it, Allah will admit him to Paradise and allow him to intercede for ten members of his household, all of whom had incurred the Fire.’

Translation notes
  • The Arabic states that all ten household members had incurred the Fire; this is retained without adding a qualification.
