Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ الْعِرْبَاضُ بْنُ سَارِيَةَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجُ عَلَيْنَا فِي الصُّفَّةِ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحَوْتَكِيَّةُ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا ذُخِرَ لَكُمْ مَا حَزِنْتُمْ عَلَى مَا زُوِيَ عَنْكُمْ وَلَيُفْتَحَنَّ لَكُمْ فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ.
English Translation
Al-Hakam ibn Nafi' told us: Isma'il ibn Ayyash told us, from Damdam ibn Zur'ah, from Shurayh ibn Ubayd, who said: Al-Irbad ibn Sariyah said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to come out to us in the Suffah while we wore rough woolen garments, and he would say: If you knew what has been stored up for you, you would not grieve over what has been withheld from you; and Persia and Byzantium will surely be opened up for you.
