Arabic hadith text

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّحْدُ لَنَا وَالشَّقُّ لغيرنا» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَابْن مَاجَه وَرَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

Translation

Ibn Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘The side niche is for us, and the straight trench is for others.’ Al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah transmitted it. Ahmad transmitted it from Jarir ibn Abdullah.

Translation notes
  • The English witness lists al-Nasai among the transmitters, but the supplied Arabic does not.
