Arabic text

وروى من ذكر أخبار العرب أن لقمان بن عاد كان أطول الناس عمرا وأنه عاش ثلاثة آلاف سنة وخمسمائة سنة، ويقال إنه عاش عمر سبعة أنسر وكان يأخذ فرخ النسر الذكر فيجعله في الجبل فيعيش النسر ما عاش، فإذا مات أخذ آخر فرباه حتى كان آخرها لبد، وكان أطولها عمرا،

Translation

H 87 - Luqman bin Aad lived the longest and he lived for 3500 years. It is said that he lived with seven eagles in such a manner that he used to catch an eagle chick and rear it under his care on the mountain till it became old and died. Then he took up another chick and trained it till the seventh eagle, which was named as Labad and it had a longer lifespan than others.

Translation: Sayyid Athar Husain S. H. Rizvi — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
