Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ قَالَ جَاءَ أَبِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ صَغِيرٌ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قُلْنَا لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِهِ قَدْ حَلَبَ وَصَرَّ.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us: Shu'ba told me, from Abu Iyas, who said: My father came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he was a young boy, and he wiped his head and asked forgiveness for him. Shu'ba said: We said to him, 'Did he have companionship with the Prophet?' He said, 'No, but he lived in his time; he had milked an animal and tied off the udder.'
