Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ - عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ أَبَقَ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَنْصُورٌ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُرْوَى عَنِّي هَا هُنَا بِالْبَصْرَةِ ‏.‏

Translation

Ali ibn Hujr al-Sa'di narrated to us; Isma'il—that is, Ibn Ulayyah—narrated to us, from Mansur ibn Abd al-Rahman, from al-Sha'bi, from Jarir, who said he heard him say: ‘Any enslaved person who runs away from his owners has committed an act of disbelief until he returns to them.’ Mansur said: ‘By Allah, it was indeed narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I dislike that it be narrated on my authority here in Basra.’
