Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ، يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ إِنَّ مُوسَى - عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ - سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْ أَخَسِّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْهَا حَظًّا ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Kurayb narrated to us: ‘Ubaydullah al-Ashja‘i narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Abjar, who said: I heard al-Sha‘bi say: I heard al-Mughira ibn Shu‘ba say from the pulpit that Moses (peace be upon him) asked Allah, Mighty and Majestic, about the person among the people of Paradise with the smallest share. He related a hadith with similar wording.
