النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَعْقِلٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنْ حُجْرٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

مَنْ أَعْمَرَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لِمُعْمَرِهِ مَحْيَاهُ ، وَمَمَاتَهُ وَلَا تُرْقِبُوا ، فَمَنْ أَرْقَبَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ سَبِيلُهُ
