Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْمَرُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ بَرَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ بَرَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ بَرَّ أَبَاكَ.
