Arabic text

١٩٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ ‌شَرِيكٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: يَا ذَا الْأُذُنَيْنِ». قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ: قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ: يَعْنِي مَازَحَهُ.
