Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْدَفَهُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى عَلَيْهَا كَبَّرَ رَسُولُ
اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثًا وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثًا وَسَبَّحَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثًا وَهَلَّلَ اللَّهَ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ اسْتَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ فَضَحِكَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ امْرِئٍ يَرْكَبُ دَابَّتَهُ فَيَصْنَعُ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ إِلَّا أَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَضَحِكَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا ضَحِكْتُ إِلَيْكَ

English Translation
Abu al-Mughirah narrated to us, Abu Bakr ibn 'Abdullah narrated to us, from 'Ali ibn Abi Talhah, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ let him ride behind him on his mount, and he said to him: 'O young man, I shall teach you some words. Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the entire ummah gathered to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you except with what Allah has already written for you. And if they gathered to harm you, they would not harm you except with what Allah has already written against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.'
