Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ وَبَرَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ ابْنَ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنهما - أَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَقَدْ أَحْرَمْتُ بِالْحَجِّ فَقَالَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ قَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ فُلاَنٍ يَكْرَهُهُ وَأَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُ رَأَيْنَاهُ قَدْ فَتَنَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ وَأَيُّنَا - أَوْ أَيُّكُمْ - لَمْ تَفْتِنْهُ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحْرَمَ بِالْحَجِّ وَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَسَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَسُنَّةُ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةُ رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ مِنْ سُنَّةِ فُلاَنٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا ‏.‏

Translation

Qutayba ibn Saeed narrated to us: Jarir narrated to us, from Bayan, from Wabara, who said: A man asked Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): May I circumambulate the House while I have entered ihram for Hajj? He said: What prevents you? The man said: I saw so-and-so son of so-and-so disapprove of it, and you are dearer to us than he is. We think the world has enticed him. He said: Which of us has not been enticed by the world? Then he said: We saw the Messenger of Allah enter ihram for Hajj, circumambulate the House, and walk between al-Safa and al-Marwa. The way of Allah and the way of His Messenger are more deserving of being followed than the way of so-and-so, if you are truthful.
