Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ { لَهُمْ الْبُشْرَى فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ } قَالَ هِيَ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ.
English Translation
Abu Sa'id, the client of Banu Hashim, told us, Harb told us, Yahya — meaning Ibn Abi Kathir — told us, from Abu Salamah, from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, that he asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about this verse: {For them are glad tidings in the life of this world and in the Hereafter}. He said: "It is the righteous vision that a servant sees, or that is shown to him."
