Then Abu Hurairah recited: "After a legacy which you bequeath or a debt, causing no injury. . . that will be the mighty success.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُدَّانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : "

إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً ، ثُمَّ يَحْضُرُهُمَا الْمَوْتُ فَيُضَارَّانِ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ فَتَجِبُ لَهُمَا النَّارُ

" ، قَالَ : وَقَرَأَ عَلَيَّ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصَى بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ غَيْرَ مُضَارٍّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَذَا يَعْنِي الأَشْعَثَ بْنَ جَابِرٍ ، جَدُّ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ .
