أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، مَوْلَى آلِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَمِعَ رَجُلاً يَقْرَأُ { قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ * اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ * لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ * وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ } فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " وَجَبَتْ " . فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " الْجَنَّةُ " .
Qutaybah narrated to us, from Malik, from Ubaidullah ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Ubaid ibn Hunayn, the freedman of the family of Zayd ibn al-Khattab, who said: I heard Abu Hurairah say: I was traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he heard a man reciting, Say: He is Allah, One; Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, and there is none comparable to Him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, It is assured. I asked him, What is, Messenger of Allah? He replied, Paradise.
Translation notes
