Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ، بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رِجَالاً مِنْ أُمَّتِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ ‏"‏ وَلَرَوْحَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ غَدْوَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ibn Abi Umar narrated to us: Marwan ibn Muawiya narrated to us from Yahya ibn Said, from Dhakwan ibn Abi Salih, from Abu Hurayra, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Were it not for men from my community...” He then related the hadith and said in it: “A journey by evening in the path of Allah, or a journey at dawn, is better than the world and all that is in it.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic gives the opening quotation fragment لولا أن رجالا من أمتي, then explicitly says وساق الحديث وقال فيه before quoting a later phrase. The intervening wording is not supplied here and has not been restored; the ellipsis marks this gap.

  • قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رِجَالاً

    The quotation is an incomplete fragment in this item, followed by the narrator formula وساق الحديث; the intervening wording is absent.

    Please confirm that the ellipsis appropriately signals the source abbreviation without implying reconstructed wording.
