Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْكَلَاعِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْجَدْعَاءِ وَاضِعٌ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي الْغَرْزِ يَتَطَاوَلُ يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ طَوَائِفِ النَّاسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا تَعْهَدُ إِلَيْنَا قَالَ اعْبَدُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَصَلُّوا خَمْسَكُمْ وَصُومُوا شَهْرَكُمْ وَأَطِيعُوا ذَا أَمْرِكُمْ تَدْخُلُوا جَنَّةَ رَبِّكُمْ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ مِثْلُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ أَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ ابْنُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً أُزَاحِمُ الْبَعِيرَ أُزَحْزِحُهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman told us, from Mu'awiyah ibn Salih, from Sulaym ibn Amir al-Kala'i, who said: I heard Abu Umamah say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him -- while he was that day upon al-Jad'a [his she-camel], with his feet placed in the stirrups, stretching himself up to make the people hear -- say at the top of his voice: "Do you not hear?" A man from among the groups of people said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you enjoin upon us?" He said: "Worship your Lord, pray your five daily prayers, fast your month, and obey the one in charge of your affairs -- you will enter the Paradise of your Lord." I said, "O Abu Umamah, how old were you that day?" He said: "I was that day a man of thirty years, jostling the camel, pushing it aside for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."
