Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأُمَوِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ الْمُرَادِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ هَرِمٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي لاَ أَدْرِي مَا بَقَائِي فِيكُمْ فَاقْتَدُوا بِاللَّذَيْنِ مِنْ بَعْدِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ‏.‏

Translation

Sa‘id ibn Yahya ibn Sa‘id al-Umawi narrated to us: Waki‘ narrated to us, from Salim Abu al-‘Ala’ al-Muradi, from ‘Amr ibn Hurm, from Rib‘i ibn Hirash, from Hudhayfah, who said: We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when he said, ‘I do not know how long I will remain among you, so follow the two who come after me.’ He pointed toward Abu Bakr and ‘Umar.
