Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ كَانَ مَرْوَانُ يَسْتَخْلِفُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَيَضْرِبُ بِرِجْلِهِ فَيَقُولُ خَلُّوا الطَّرِيقَ خَلُّوا قَدْ جَاءَ الْأَمِيرُ قَدْ جَاءَ الْأَمِيرُ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَى مَنْ جَرَّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Shu'bah - if Allah wills - who said: Muhammad ibn Ziyad narrated to us, who said: Marwan used to appoint Abu Hurairah as his deputy over Madinah, and he would stamp his feet saying: "Clear the road, clear the road! The governor has come, the governor has come!" Abu al-Qasim (peace be upon him) said: "Allah does not look at the one who drags his lower garment out of pride."
