Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا يُجَرُّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مِنْ يَوْمِ وُلِدَ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَمُوتُ هَرَمًا فِي مَرْضَاةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَحَقَّرَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
English Translation
Hayw ibn Shurayh narrated to us, he said: Baqiyya narrated to us, he said: Bahir ibn Sa'd narrated to me, from Khalid ibn Ma'dan, from Utbah ibn Abd, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'If a man were dragged upon his face from the day he was born until the day he died of old age, in seeking the pleasure of Allah, Mighty and Sublime, he would still regard that as insignificant on the Day of Resurrection.'
