حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَجَلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَأَنِّي قَدْ دُعِيتُ فَأَجَبْتُ وَ إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْآخَرِ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ عِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي فَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَزَالا جَمِيعاً حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونِّي فِيهِمَا.
Narrated to us Muhammad bin Umar: Narrated to me Abdullah bin Yazid Abu Muhammad Bajali: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Tareef: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Fudhail from Amash from Atiyyah from Abi Saeed from Habib bin Abi Thabit from Zaid bin Arqam that he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I have received the summons of death and I have accepted it. Thus I leave among you two heavy (very important) things. One of them is greater than the other. The Book of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, which is a rope drawn from the heavens to the earth and my progeny – my Ahlul Bayt – the two shall remain together till they come to me at the Pool (of Kauthar). So be careful how you consider them as my successors.”
