Arabic text

4785 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَشْعَثَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ، إِمَّا أَنْ يُقَادَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُفْدَى»
