Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ الأَعْرَجِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلاَ آيَتَانِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَا حَدَّثْتُ عَنْهُ - يَعْنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ - شَيْئًا أَبَدًا لَوْلاَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ ‏‏{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ}‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَتَيْنِ ‏.‏

Abū Marwān al-ʿUthmānī, Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān, narrated to us: Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd narrated to us, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Hurmuz al-Aʿraj, who heard Abū Hurayrah say: By God, were it not for two verses in the Book of God Most High, I would never have narrated anything from him—that is, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Were it not for the words of God, “Indeed, those who conceal what God sent down of the Book...” through to the end of the two verses.
