Text and translation

English translation

4509. Narrated Ash-Sha'bi: 'Adi took a white rope (or thread) and a black one, and when some part of the night had passed, he looked at them but he could not distinguish one from the other. The next morning he said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I put (a white thread and a black thread) underneath my pillow." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then your pillow is too wide if the white thread (light of dawn) and the black thread (darkness of the night) are underneath your pillow!"(1)

Arabic text

4509 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ: أَخَذَ عَدِيٌّ عِقَالًا أَبْيَضَ، وَعِقَالًا أَسْوَدَ حَتَّى كَانَ بَعْضُ اللَّيْلِ نَظَرَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَبِينَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: جَعَلْتُ تَحْتَ وِسَادِي عِقَالَيْنِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ وِسَادَكَ إِذًا لَعَرِيضٌ أَنْ كَانَ الخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ، وَالأَسْوَدُ تَحْتَ وِسَادَتِكَ»
