Arabic text

9 - (921) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَمْ تَرَوُا الْإِنْسَانَ إِذَا مَاتَ شَخَصَ بَصَرُهُ؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ: «فَذَلِكَ حِينَ يَتْبَعُ بَصَرُهُ نَفْسَهُ».
