العربية (الأصل)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَلَقَّوْا الْبَيْعَ وَلَا تُصَرُّوا الْغَنَمَ وَالْإِبِلَ لِلْبَيْعِ فَمَنْ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَدَّهَا بِصَاعِ تَمْرٍ لَا سَمْرَاءَ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, were it not that some men among the believers would find it difficult and I could not provide mounts for them, I would not stay behind from any military expedition fighting in the cause of Allah. By the One in whose hand is my soul, I would love to be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed, then brought back to life, then killed.'
