Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُقْرِئَكَ الْقُرْآنَ أَوْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ آللَّهُ سَمَّانِي لَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قَدْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Rawh told us: Sa'id ibn Abi Aruba told us, from Qatada, who said: Anas ibn Malik told us that the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Ubayy ibn Ka'b: Allah, Mighty and Sublime, has commanded me to teach you the Qur'an, or to recite the Qur'an to you. He said: Did Allah name me to you? He said: Yes. He said: I have been mentioned before the Lord of the worlds? He said: Yes. So his eyes shed tears.
