Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَغُدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَلَقَابُ قَوْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ أَوْ مَوْضِعُ قَدِّهِ يَعْنِي سَوْطَهُ مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَلَوْ اطَّلَعَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ لَمَلَأَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا رِيحًا وَلَطَابَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَنَصِيفُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا حَدَّثَنَا الْهَاشِمِيُّ يَعْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ مَعْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Abu al-Nadr narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Talha narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A morning expedition in the way of Allah, or an evening one, is better than the world and all that is in it; and the space of one of your bows, or the place of a riding whip, in Paradise is better than the world and all that is in it; and if a woman among the women of the people of Paradise were to look down upon the earth, she would fill what is between them with fragrance, and what is between them would become sweet; and her head-covering is better than the world and all that is in it." Al-Hashimi—that is, Sulayman—narrated to us, from Isma'il, from Humayd, from Anas, with the same meaning.
