Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ الضَّبِّيُّ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ زُهَيْرٍ الْمُسَيِّبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ الدِّيلِيِّ وَكَانَ جَاهِلِيًّا أَسْلَمَ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَصَرَ عَيْنِي بِسُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تُفْلِحُوا وَيَدْخُلُ فِي فِجَاجِهَا وَالنَّاسُ مُتَقَصِّفُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا يَقُولُ شَيْئًا وَهُوَ لَا يَسْكُتُ
يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تُفْلِحُوا إِلَّا أَنَّ وَرَاءَهُ رَجُلًا أَحْوَلَ وَضِيءَ الْوَجْهِ ذَا غَدِيرَتَيْنِ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ صَابِئٌ كَاذِبٌ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَذْكُرُ النُّبُوَّةَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُهُ قَالُوا عَمُّهُ أَبُو لَهَبٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ يَوْمَئِذٍ صَغِيرًا قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي يَوْمَئِذٍ لَأَعْقِلُ

English Translation
ʿAbdullāh narrated to us: Abū Sulaymān al-Ḍabbī Dāwūd ibn ʿAmr ibn Zuhayr al-Musayyibī narrated to me: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī al-Zinād narrated to us, from his father, from Rabīʿah ibn ʿAbbād al-Dīlī — who was from the Jāhiliyyah era and then embraced Islam — he said: I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with my own eyes at the market of Dhū al-Majāz, saying: 'O people, say lā ilāha illallāh and you will prosper!' He was entering its pathways while the people were crowding around him. I saw no one saying anything. He would not stop, saying: 'O people, say lā ilāha illallāh and you will prosper!' — except that behind him was a cross-eyed man with a handsome face and two braids, saying: 'He is a ṣābiʾ (apostate), a liar!' I said: 'Who is this?' They said: 'Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh, and he is speaking of prophethood.' I said: 'Who is this one denying him?' They said: 'His uncle Abū Lahab.' I said: 'You were small then.' He said: 'No, by Allāh, I was already of understanding that day.'
