Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَخْرُجُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَلاَ يَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ بَصَرَهُ إِلاَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَإِنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَنْظُرَانِ إِلَيْهِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمَا وَيَتَبَسَّمَانِ إِلَيْهِ وَيَتَبَسَّمُ إِلَيْهِمَا ‏ .‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ ‏.‏

Translation

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us: Abu Dawud narrated to us: al-Hakam ibn ‘Atiyyah narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would come out to his Companions from among the Muhajirun and Ansar while they sat together, including Abu Bakr and ‘Umar. None would raise his gaze to him except Abu Bakr and ‘Umar; they looked at him and he at them, and they smiled at him and he at them. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a gharib hadith; we know it only through al-Hakam ibn ‘Atiyyah. Some scholars criticized al-Hakam.
