Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْمَازِنِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي مَازِنٍ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمَازِنِيِّ وَكَانَ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا قَالَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَتْبَعُ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِأَضْرِبَهُ إِذْ وَقَعَ رَأْسُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِلَ إِلَيْهِ سَيْفِي فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ غَيْرِي.
