Arabic text

4240 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْعَمَلِ أَدْوَمُهُ، وَإِنْ قَلَّ»
