أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، كَلَّمَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ " .
Amr ibn Mansur reported to us; he said: Muhammad ibn Isa narrated to us; he said: Yahya ibn Zakariyya ibn Abi Za'idah narrated to us, from Dawud, from Amr ibn Sa'id, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas: A man spoke to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about something, and the Prophet said: ‘All praise belongs to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help. Whoever Allah guides, none can lead astray; and whoever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. To proceed…’
Translation notes
The report gives the opening formula the Prophet used in response to a man who spoke to him; the closing expression amma ba'd is rendered ‘To proceed.’
