Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يُكْلَمُ أَحَدٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ - وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ يُكْلَمُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ - إِلاَّ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَجُرْحُهُ يَثْعَبُ دَمًا اللَّوْنُ لَوْنُ دَمٍ وَالرِّيحُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Mansur informed us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: No one is wounded in the cause of Allah—and Allah knows best who is truly wounded in His cause—except that he will come on the Day of Resurrection with his wound pouring blood. Its color will be the color of blood, and its scent the scent of musk.
