Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا ضَلَّ قَوْمٌ بَعْدَ هُدًى كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أُوتُوا الْجَدَلَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ } حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ مِثْلَهُ.
English Translation
Ibn Numayr told us, Hajjaj ibn Dinar al-Wasiti told us, from Abu Ghalib, from Abu Umamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No people went astray after guidance they were upon except that they were given to disputation" -- then he recited: "They did not strike it for you except in argument; rather, they are a contentious people." Ya'la told us, Hajjaj told us, the like of it.
