Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ الْوَرَّاقُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، طَلْحَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ جَاهِمَةَ السُّلَمِيِّ، أَنَّ جَاهِمَةَ، جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَغْزُوَ وَقَدْ جِئْتُ أَسْتَشِيرُكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ أُمٍّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَالْزَمْهَا فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abd al-Wahhab ibn Abd al-Hakam al-Warraq informed us; he said: Hajjaj narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said: Muhammad ibn Talhah—namely, the son of Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Rahman—reported to me, from his father, Talhah, from Muawiyah ibn Jahimah al-Sulami, that Jahimah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, I intend to go on a military expedition, and I have come to seek your advice. He asked: Do you have a mother? He said: Yes. He said: Then stay close to her, for Paradise is beneath her feet.

Translation notes
  • The isnad names Muhammad ibn Talhah and clarifies that he is the son of Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Rahman; the subsequent phrase identifies his father as Talhah.
