Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَفِينَا الْعَجَمِيُّ وَالْأَعْرَابِيُّ قَالَ فَاسْتَمَعَ فَقَالَ اقْرَءُوا فَكُلٌّ حَسَنٌ وَسَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يُقِيمُونَهُ كَمَا يُقَامُ الْقِدْحُ يَتَعَجَّلُونَهُ وَلَا يَتَأَجَّلُونَهُ.
English Translation
Khalaf ibn al-Walid told us, Khalid told us, from Humayd al-A'raj, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came out to us while we were reciting the Qur'an, and among us were the non-Arab and the bedouin. He listened and said: "Recite, for all of it is good. There will come a people who will make it straight as an arrow-shaft is straightened, hastening its reward and not waiting patiently for it."
