Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْوَرْدِ - قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَغْزُ وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْ نَفْسَهُ بِغَزْوٍ مَاتَ عَلَى شُعْبَةِ نِفَاقٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abdah ibn Abd al-Rahim informed us; he said: Salamah ibn Sulayman narrated to us; he said: Ibn al-Mubarak reported to us; he said: Wuhayb—meaning Ibn al-Ward—reported to us; he said: Umar ibn Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir reported to me, from Sumayy, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: Whoever dies without having fought and without having resolved within himself to fight has died with a branch of hypocrisy.
