Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمُ رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَتَهُ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَقَالَ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَقَالَ فِيهِ أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغْ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ هُوَ أَوْعَى مِنْ مُبَلِّغٍ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ مَالَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ إِلَى غُنَيْمَاتٍ فَجَعَلَ يَقْسِمُهُنَّ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ الشَّاةُ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ الشَّاةُ.
English Translation
Hawdha b. Khalifa narrated to us: 'Abdullah b. 'Awn narrated to us, from Muhammad b. Sirin, from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakra, from Abu Bakra, who said: When that day came, the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, mounted his she-camel, then stopped and said: "Do you know what day this is?" And he related the meaning of the hadith of Ibn Abi 'Adiyy, and said in it: "Let the one present convey it to the one absent" — twice — "for many a person conveyed to may be more mindful than the one who conveys, though his equal." Then he turned his she-camel toward some small sheep and began distributing them among the men — one sheep for two men, one sheep for three.
