Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا رَجَاءٌ أَبُو يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا مُسَافِعُ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ فَأَنْشُدُ بِاللَّهِ ثَلَاثًا وَوَضَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرُّكْنَ وَالْمَقَامَ يَاقُوتَتَانِ مِنْ يَاقُوتِ الْجَنَّةِ طَمَسَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نُورَهُمَا وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ طَمَسَ نُورَهُمَا لَأَضَاءَتَا مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Raja Abu Yahya told us: Musafi ibn Shayba told us: I heard Abdullah ibn Amr say - and he swore by Allah three times, putting his finger in his ears - "I indeed heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'The Stone and the Station [of Ibrahim] are two rubies from the rubies of Paradise; Allah, Mighty and Sublime, extinguished their light, and had Allah not extinguished their light, they would have illuminated all that is between the East and the West.'"
