Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا مَشَى مَشَى أَصْحَابُهُ أَمَامَهُ وَتَرَكُوا ظَهْرَهُ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ .

ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Sufyān, from al-Aswad ibn Qays, from Nubayḥ al-ʿAnazī, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh, who said: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, walked, his Companions walked ahead of him, leaving the space behind him for the angels.
