Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْثَرٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ وَبَرَةَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَيَصْلُحُ لِي أَنْ أَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ قَبْلَ أَنْ آتِيَ الْمَوْقِفَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ فَإِنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ لاَ تَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ الْمَوْقِفَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَدْ حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْمَوْقِفَ فَبِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ أَوْ بِقَوْلِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا

Translation

Yahya ibn Yahya informed us: Abthar informed us, from Ismail ibn Abi Khalid, from Wabara, who said: I was sitting with Ibn Umar when a man came and asked: Is it acceptable for me to circumambulate the House before I go to the place of standing? He said: Yes. The man said: But Ibn Abbas says not to circumambulate the House until you have reached the place of standing. Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah performed Hajj and circumambulated the House before reaching the place of standing. If you are telling the truth, whose words are more worthy of following: the Messenger of Allah or Ibn Abbas?
