Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ وَالْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ عُلَاثَةَ فَذَكَرُوا الْجُدُودَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَخْبَرْتُك
ُمْ جَدُّ بَنِي عَامِرٍ جَمَلٌ أَحْمَرُ أَوْ آدَمُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الشَّجَرِ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ فِي رَوْضَةٍ وَغَطَفَانُ أَكَمَةٌ خَشَّاءُ تَنْفِي النَّاسَ عَنْهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَأَيْنَ جَدُّ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ قَالَ لَوْ سَكَتَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that 'Uyaynah ibn Badr, al-Aqra' ibn Habis, and 'Alqamah ibn 'Ulathah gathered at the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned their ancestral lineages. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'If you wish, I can tell you: the ancestor of Banu 'Amir is a red or tawny camel that eats from the edges of trees — and I believe he said: in a meadow — while Ghatafan is a rugged hillock that repels people from it.' Al-Aqra' ibn Habis said: 'Then where is the ancestor of Banu Tamim?' He said: 'Had he stayed silent...'
