Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ شَاهِينَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْيَمَنِ فَأُتِيَ بِغُلاَمٍ تَنَازَعَ فِيهِ ثَلاَثَةٌ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ ‏.‏ خَالَفَهُمْ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Shahin informed us; he said: Khalid narrated to us, from al-Shaybani, from al-Sha'bi, from a man from Hadramawt, from Zayd ibn Arqam, who said: The Messenger of Allah appointed Ali over Yemen, and a boy over whom three men were disputing was brought to him. The compiler then related the rest of the report. Salamah ibn Kuhayl differed from them.
