Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِسُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ ‏‏{فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا}‏ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعَانِ ‏.‏

Translation

Hannad ibn al-Sari narrated to us; Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us, from al-A‘mash, from Ibrahim, from ‘Alqamah, from ‘Abdullah, who said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: “Recite to me.” I recited Surat al-Nisa’ to him, and when I reached, “How will it be when We bring a witness from every nation, and bring you as a witness against these people?” I looked at him and his eyes were shedding tears.
