Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْقَزِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ، قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا أَتَيْنَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِوَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏.‏ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ لَنَا ‏ "‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ سَيَأْتُونَكُمْ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ الأَرْضِ يَتَفَقَّهُونَ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِذَا جَاءُوكُمْ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِمْ خَيْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: ʿAmr ibn Muḥammad al-ʿAnqazī informed us: Sufyān informed us, from Abū Hārūn al-ʿAbdī, who said: Whenever we came to Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, he would say, “Welcome, those entrusted to us by the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him.” The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said to us: “People will follow you and come to you from every region of the earth to gain understanding of the religion. When they come to you, take good care of them.”
