Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ خَطَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّ
مَ خَطًّا بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا سَبِيلُ اللَّهِ مُسْتَقِيمًا قَالَ ثُمَّ خَطَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذِهِ السُّبُلُ وَلَيْسَ مِنْهَا سَبِيلٌ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ شَيْطَانٌ يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { وَإِنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ }

English Translation
Aswad ibn 'Amir narrated to us, Abu Bakr narrated to us, from 'Asim, from Abu Wa'il, from 'Abdullah who said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew a line with his hand and said: This is the straight path of Allah. Then he drew lines branching off to its right and to its left and said: These are the other paths; upon each of them is a devil calling to it. Then he recited: {And this is My straight path, so follow it; and do not follow other ways, for they will separate you from His way} [al-An'am 6:153].'
