Sahih Muslim 1264b

Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ قَوْمَ حَسَدٍ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ يَحْسُدُونَهُ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us; Yazid narrated to us; al-Jurayri informed us through the same chain with a similar report. However, he said: “The people of Mecca were an envious people,” and did not say, “They envied him.”
