Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَكُونَنَّ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ السُّوقَ وَلَا آخِرَ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَعْرَكَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَبِهَا يَنْصُبُ رَايَتَهُ
English Translation
Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Fudayl informed us, from 'Asim al-Ahwal, from Abu 'Uthman, from Salman (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who said: 'Do not, if you can help it, be the first to enter the marketplace nor the last to leave it, for it is the battlefield of Satan and therein he plants his banner.'
