Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَحْقِرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ يَرَى أَمْرَ اللَّهِ فِيهِ مَقَالًا فَلَا يَقُولُ فِيهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ قُلْتَ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيَقُولُ مَخَافَةُ النَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ إِيَّايَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخَافَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Sufyan informed us, from Zubayd, from Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Let none of you belittle himself: he sees a matter concerning which he could speak for the sake of Allah, but he does not speak about it. Then on the Day of Resurrection, it will be said to him, 'What prevented you from speaking about such-and-such?' He will say, 'Fear of people.' Then He will say, 'It is I who most deserve to be feared.'"
