Arabic hadith text
وَحَدَّثَنَا هُرَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الأَسَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَذْكُرُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ . وَاقْتَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ وَزَادَ فَكُنَّا نَرَاهُ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ .
Translation
Huraym ibn Abd al-Ala al-Asadi narrated to us; al-Mu'tamir ibn Sulayman narrated to us; he said: I heard my father mention, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: When this verse was revealed… He related the hadith, but did not mention Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. He added: ‘We used to see a man walking among us who was one of the people of Paradise.’
