Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ هَمَّارٍ الْغَطَفَانِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَا تَعْجِزْ عَنْ أَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ.

'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us, Mu'awiyah - meaning Ibn Salih - narrated to us, from Abu al-Zahiriyyah, from Kathir ibn Murrah, from Nu'aym ibn Hammar al-Ghatafani, that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: "O son of Adam, do not be too weak to pray four rak'ahs at the beginning of the day, and I will suffice you for the rest of it."
