Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَقْعُدُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ يَكْتُبُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ فَالنَّاسُ فِيهِ كَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَدَنَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَقَرَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ شَاةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ دَجَاجَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ عُصْفُورًا وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَيْضَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Rabi‘ ibn Sulayman informed us; he said: Shu‘ayb ibn al-Layth narrated to us; he said: al-Layth informed us, from Ibn ‘Ajlan, from Sumayy, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: “On Friday, the angels sit at the doors of the mosque, recording people according to their rank. The people who come are like one who offers a camel, one who offers a cow, one who offers a sheep, one who offers a chicken, one who offers a sparrow, and one who offers an egg.”
