Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ وَيَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يُنَجِّيَ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ عَمَلُهُ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَنْتَ قَالَ وَلَا أَنَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ وَفَضْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ.
English Translation
Ibn Numayr told us, from al-A'mash, and Ya'la told us: al-A'mash told us, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Be moderate and aim correctly, for none of you will be saved by his deeds alone." We said: "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Not even me, unless Allah envelops me in mercy and grace from Himself." Ibn Numayr told us: al-A'mash informed us, from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, similarly.
