Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِتَمْرٍ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْسِمُهُ وَهُوَ مُحْتَفِزٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَكْلاً ذَرِيعًا ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ زُهَيْرٍ أَكْلاً حَثِيثًا ‏.‏

Translation

Zuhayr ibn Harb and Ibn Abi Umar narrated to us, both from Sufyan. Ibn Abi Umar said: Sufyan ibn Uyayna narrated to us, from Musab ibn Sulaym, from Anas, who said: Dates were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began distributing them while seated with his legs drawn up, eating from them quickly. Zuhayrs report says: “eating hurriedly.”
