Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رُبَيِّعَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ رَجُلٍ يُؤَذِّنُ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَرَاعِي غَنَمٍ أَوْ عَازِبٌ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ ‏.‏ فَنَظَرُوا فَإِذَا هُوَ رَاعِي غَنَمٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Mansur reported to us. He said: 'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from al-Hakam, from Ibn Abi Layla, from 'Abd Allah ibn Rubayyi'ah, who said: He was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey and heard a man's voice calling the adhan. He repeated the words after him, then said, 'This must be a shepherd or a man away from his family.' They looked, and it was a shepherd.
