Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِرِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جُلُوسًا فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي مَا قَدْرُ بَقَائِي فِيكُمْ فَاقْتَدُوا بِاللَّذَيْنِ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِعَهْدِ عَمَّارٍ وَمَا حَدَّثَكُمْ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَصَدِّقُوهُ.

Waki' told us, from Sufyan, from 'Abd al-Malik b. 'Umayr, from a freedman of Rib'i, from Rib'i, from Hudhayfah, he said: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "I do not know how long I will remain among you, so follow the example of the two who come after me" - and he pointed to Abu Bakr and 'Umar - "and hold fast to the covenant of 'Ammar, and whatever Ibn Mas'ud tells you, believe him."
