Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ جُرَيٍّ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَقَدَ فِي يَدِهِ أَوْ فِي يَدِ السُّلَمِيِّ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ نِصْفُ الْمِيزَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ يَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالطُّهُورُ نِصْفُ الْمِيزَانِ وَالصَّوْمُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'ba told us, from Abu Ishaq, from Jurayy an-Nahdi, from a man of Banu Sulaym, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, made a knot with his hand, or in the hand of the Sulami, and said: Glory be to Allah is half of the scale; Praise be to Allah fills the scale; Allah is Greatest fills what is between the heaven and the earth; purification is half of the scale; and fasting is half of patience.
