Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَزِينٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي سَلْمَى، قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي فَقُلْتُ مَا يُبْكِيكِ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - تَعْنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ - وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ التُّرَابُ فَقُلْتُ مَا لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ شَهِدْتُ قَتْلَ الْحُسَيْنِ آنِفًا ‏" ‏ ‏. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Sa‘id al-Ashajj narrated to us: Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us: Razin narrated to us: Salma narrated to me: I entered upon Umm Salamah while she was crying. I asked, ‘What is making you cry?’ She said, ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—in a dream, she meant—with dust on his head and beard. I asked, “What is wrong, Messenger of Allah?” He said, “I have just witnessed the killing of al-Husayn.”’ This hadith is gharib.
