Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ الْقُرَشِيُّ قَالَ نا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا فَتَلَقَيْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ رَطْبٌ بِهَا فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ جُحْرًا فَاتَّبَعْنَاهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا كَمَا وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا فَتَلَقَيْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ رَطْبٌ بِهَا فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ جُحْرًا فَاتَّبَعْنَاهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا كَمَا وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ
English Translation
Ahmad ibn Aban al-Qurashi narrated to us, he said: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Asim, from Zirr, from Abdullah, who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) on a military expedition when 'By those sent forth in waves' [Surah al-Mursalat] was revealed to him. I received it directly from his mouth while his mouth was still moist with it. Then a snake appeared and went into a hole, and we chased after it. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: «You were saved from its harm as it was saved from your harm.» This hadith has been narrated by more than one from Asim.
