Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ النَّوْفَلِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْعَصْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ سَرِيعًا حَتَّى تَعَجَّبَ النَّاسُ لِسُرْعَتِهِ فَتَبِعَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الْعَصْرِ شَيْئًا مِنْ تِبْرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَبِيتَ عِنْدَنَا فَأَمَرْتُ بِقِسْمَتِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Bakkar al-Harrani informed us; he said: Bishr ibn al-Sari narrated to us, from ‘Umar ibn Sa‘id ibn Abi Husayn al-Nawfali, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from ‘Uqbah ibn al-Harith, who said: I prayed the afternoon prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah. Then he left, quickly stepping over people’s necks, until they were amazed at how quickly he moved. Some of his Companions followed him. He entered the home of one of his wives, then came out and said: “While I was praying the afternoon prayer, I remembered some uncoined gold we had. I disliked the thought of it spending the night with us, so I ordered that it be distributed.”
