Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ مُتَقَارِبُونَ فَأَقَمْنَا مَعَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً قَالَ
وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَحِيمًا رَفِيقًا فَظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدْ اشْتَقْنَا أَهْلَنَا فَسَأَلَنَا عَمَّنْ تَرَكْنَا فِي أَهْلِنَا فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِمْ وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ وَمُرُوهُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ

English Translation
Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us: Ayyūb narrated to us, from Abū Qilābah, from Mālik ibn al-Ḥuwayirth (رضي الله عنه) who said: We came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and we were young men of similar age. We stayed with him for twenty nights. He said: He was compassionate and gentle. When he thought we had begun to long for our families, he asked us about those we had left behind, and we informed him. He ﷺ said: 'Return to your families and stay with them. Teach them and instruct them. Pray as you have seen me pray. When the time for prayer comes, let one of you give the call to prayer, and let the eldest among you lead the prayer.'
