Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ بِذِي الْمَجَازِ وَخَلْفَهُ
رَجُلٌ أَحْوَلُ يَقُولُ لَا يَغْلِبَنَّكُمْ هَذَا عَنْ دِينِكُمْ وَدِينِ آبَائِكُمْ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ مَنْ هَذَا الْأَحْوَلُ الَّذِي يَمْشِي خَلْفَهُ قَالَ هَذَا عَمُّهُ أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَالَ عَبَّادٌ أَظُنُّ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَبَيْنَ رَبِيعَةَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ

English Translation
ʿAbdullāh narrated to us: Surayj ibn Yūnus narrated to me: ʿAbbād ibn ʿAbbād narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr, from Rabīʿah ibn ʿAbbād, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ calling the people to Islam at Dhū al-Majāz, and behind him was a cross-eyed man saying: 'Do not let this one overcome you against your religion and the religion of your fathers!' I said to my father — and I was a boy — 'Who is this cross-eyed man walking behind him?' He said: 'This is his uncle Abū Lahab.' ʿAbbād said: I think between Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr and Rabīʿah there is Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir.
