Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَارٍ فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا فَأَخَذْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا فَلَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّهَا خَتَمَ { فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ } أَوْ { قِيلَ لَهُمْ ارْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ } سَبَقَتْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جُحْرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا وَوُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ.
English Translation
Sufyan told us, from Asim, from Zirr, from Abdullah, who said: "We were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a cave, and Surat al-Mursalat was revealed to him, and I took it from his mouth while his mouth was still moist with it, so I do not know with which verse he ended: either 'Then in what statement after this will they believe?' or 'When it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.' A snake got ahead of us and entered a hole, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'You have been protected from its harm, and it has been protected from your harm.'"
