Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الشَّيْخُ الزَّانِي وَالْعَائِلُ الْمَزْهُوُّ وَالإِمَامُ الْكَذَّابُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna reported: Yahya narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan, who said: I heard my father relate from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There are three to whom Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will not speak on the Day of Resurrection: an old man who commits fornication, a destitute man who is conceited, and a lying ruler.

Translation notes
  • The three descriptions are rendered distinctly: advanced age with fornication, destitution with conceit, and a ruler who lies.
