Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِذَا أَصْحَابُهُ كَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ الطَّيْرُ.
English Translation
Waki' told us: al-Mas'udi told us, from Ziyad b. Ilaqa, from Usama b. Sharik, who said: I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it was as if birds were perched on the heads of his companions.
