Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُخْتَارُ بْنُ فُلْفُلٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَدْ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي إِمَامُكُمْ فَلَا تَسْبِقُونِي بِالرُّكُوعِ وَلَا بِالسُّجُودِ وَلَا بِالْقِيَامِ وَلَا بِ
الْقُعُودِ وَلَا بِالِانْصِرَافِ فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي وَمِنْ خَلْفِي وَايْمُ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا رَأَيْتَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ

English Translation
Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us, al-Mukhtar ibn Fulful narrated to us, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said one day, having finished the prayer, he turned to us and said: "O people, I am your imam. Do not precede me in bowing, nor in prostration, nor in standing, nor in leaving. I see you from in front of me and from behind me." Then he said: "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, if you saw what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much." They said: "What did you see, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Paradise and the Fire."
