Arabic hadith text
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرُ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِ غَنَمًا يَتْبَعُ بِهَا شَعَفَ الْجِبَالِ وَمَوَاقِعَ الْقَطْرِ يَفِرُّ بِدِينِهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ " .
Translation
Malik related to me from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibnSasaca from his father that Abu Said al-Khudri said that the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It will soonhappen that the best property of a muslim will be sheep which he takesto the peaks of the mountains and the valleys, fleeing with his deenfrom trials."
