Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِهِمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ يَهُودِيًّا أَوْ نَصْرَانِيًّا " .
Translation
Ishaq ibn Mansur informed us; al-Nadr ibn Shumayl informed us; Hammad informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said a report like theirs, except that he said, ‘rather than return as a Jew or a Christian.’
