Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ فَقَرَأَ لَمْ يَكُنْ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ فَقَرَأَ فِيهَا وَلَوْ أَنَّ ابْنَ آدَمَ سَأَلَ وَادِيًا مِنْ مَالٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ لَسَأَلَ ثَانِيًا فَأُعْطِيَهُ لَسَأَلَ ثَالِثًا وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الدِّينَ الْقَيِّمَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الْحَنِيفِيَّةُ غَيْرُ الْمُشْرِكَةِ وَلَا الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَلَا النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ خَيْرًا فَلَنْ يُكْفَرَهُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Hajjaj narrated to us, they said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Asim ibn Bahdalah, from Zirr ibn Hubaysh, from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, commanded me to recite the Qur'an to you." He said: So he recited, "Those who disbelieved among the People of the Book..." He said: And he recited within it: "If the son of Adam had a valley of wealth and were given it, he would ask for a second, and if given it, he would ask for a third, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust, and Allah relents toward whoever repents. And indeed that upright religion in the sight of Allah is pure monotheism, not polytheism, nor Judaism, nor Christianity, and whoever does good will never be denied its reward."
