Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِى عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لَنَا طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ مُنْتِنَةً فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ إِذَا مُطِرْنَا قَالَ أَلَيْسَ بَعْدَهَا طَرِيقٌ هِيَ أَطْيَبُ مِنْهَا قَالَتْ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَهَذِهِ بِهَذِهِ.
English Translation
Abu Kamil narrated to us, Zuhayr, meaning Ibn Mu'awiyah, narrated to us, Abdullah ibn Isa narrated to us, from Musa ibn Abdullah - and he was a truthful man - from a woman of Banu Abd al-Ashhal, who said: "I said, O Messenger of Allah, we have a path to the mosque that is foul-smelling. What should we do when it rains?" He said: "Is there not another path after it that is cleaner?" She said: I said, "Yes." He said: "Then this one makes up for that one."
