Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏‏{‏ وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ‏}‏ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الصَّفَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا سَلُونِي مِنْ مَالِي مَا شِئْتُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us: Waki‘ and Yunus ibn Bukayr narrated to us: Hisham ibn ‘Urwa narrated to us, from his father, from ‘A’isha, who said: When the verse “Warn your nearest relatives” was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on al-Safa and said, “Fatima, daughter of Muhammad; Safiyya, daughter of ‘Abd al-Muttalib; descendants of ‘Abd al-Muttalib: I have no power to protect you from Allah. Ask me for whatever you wish from my wealth.”

Translation notes
  • This is ‘A’isha’s account of the warning from al-Safa; the Arabic limits the offer to the Prophet’s personal property.
