Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ قَالَ لِمَرْوَانَ هَذَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى الْبَابِ قَالَ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ قَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَوْشَكَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى أَنَّهُ خَرَّ مِنْ الثُّرَيَّا وَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَوَلَّ أَوْ يَلِ شَكَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ شَيْئًا.
English Translation
A man from Banu 'Amir said to Marwan: Abu Hurayrah is at the door. Marwan said: Let him in. He said: O Abu Hurayrah, narrate to us a hadith you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "The time is near when a man will wish that he had fallen from the Pleiades rather than having been entrusted with - or having taken charge of - Abu Bakr was unsure - any of the affairs of the people."
