Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِبَعْضِ جَسَدِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ كَأَنَّكَ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ وَعُدَّ نَفْسَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Yahya ibn Habib ibn ‘Arabi narrated to us; Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Layth, from Mujahid, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of part of my body and said: “‘Abdullah, be in this world as though you were a stranger or a passerby, and consider yourself among the people of the graves.”
