Arabic hadith text

عَن الْمِقْدَاد بن الْأسود قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَقُولُ لَا يَبْقَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ بَيْتُ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ كلمة الاسلام بعز عَزِيز أَو ذل ذليل إِمَّا يعزهم الله عز وَجل فَيَجْعَلُهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا أَوْ يُذِلُّهُمْ فَيَدِينُونَ لَهَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمد

Translation

Al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad said: I heard the Messenger of God say: “There will be no house of mud or tent of hair left on the face of the earth without God bringing the word of Islam into it, with honor for one who is honored or humiliation for one who is humbled. Either God, Mighty and Majestic, will honor them and make them among its people, or He will humble them and they will submit to it.” Ahmad narrated it.
