Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَحْسِرُ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Through a different chain, Abu Hurairah reported from the Prophet a hadith similar to the preceding one, except that it says the Euphrates will ‘uncover a mountain of gold.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is hasan sahih.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic variant is ‘a mountain of gold’ (جبل من ذهب), not the ‘pot of gold’ given in the English witness. ‘Similar to it’ refers to the preceding report, including its instruction not to take anything from the treasure.
