Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ اشْتَكَى فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَعْنِي يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي سَأُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا لَمْ أَكُنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَسْتَرْعِي اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَبْدًا رَعِيَّةً فَيَمُوتُ يَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ لَهَا غَاشٌّ إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ.
English Translation
Isma'il told us, from Yunus, from al-Hasan: that Ma'qil ibn Yasar fell ill, and Abdullah ibn Ziyad came in to visit him. He [Ma'qil] said: "I will now tell you a hadith I had not told you before. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)" - or "Indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said" - "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, does not entrust a servant with a flock, and he dies on the day he dies while being a betrayer of them, except that Allah forbids Paradise to him."
