Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيُّ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَرْبَعُونَ حَسَنَةً أَعْلَاهَا مِنْحَةُ الْعَنْزِ لَا يَعْمَلُ عَبْدٌ أَوْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ بِخَصْلَةٍ مِنْهَا رَجَاءَ ثَوَابِهَا أَوْ تَصْدِيقَ مَوْعُودِهَا إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا الْجَنَّةَ.
English Translation
Al-Walid narrated to us: al-Awza'i narrated, Hassan ibn Atiyyah narrated to me, Abu Kabshah al-Saluli narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As narrated to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: There are forty good deeds, the highest of which is lending a she-goat (for its milk). No servant — or he said person — does any one of them hoping for its reward or believing in its promise, except that Allah will admit him to Paradise because of it.
