Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ أَحَدًا فَدَعَا لَهُ بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيح

Translation

Ubayy ibn Ka‘b reported: When the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) mentioned someone and supplicated for him, he would begin with himself. Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it and said: ‘This is a hasan gharib sahih hadith.’ The Arabic source marks it as not studied by al-Albani.
