Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ زَادَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ أَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ فَقَالُوا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مَاذَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ الْهَرْجُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
