Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَاهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُبَاهِي مَلَائِكَتَهُ عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ بِأَهْلِ عَرَفَةَ فَيَقُولُ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عِبَادِي أَتَوْنِي شُعْثًا غُبْرًا.
English Translation
Azhar ibn al-Qasim told us: al-Muthanna - that is, Ibn Sa'id - told us, from Qatadah, from Abdullah ibn Babah, from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say: Allah, mighty and majestic is He, boasts to His angels on the evening of Arafah about the people of Arafah, saying: Look at My servants, they have come to Me disheveled and dusty.
