Arabic text

حماد بن عيسى عن حسين بن المختار رفعه إلى سلمان الفارسي رضي الله عنه أنه قال: لولا السجود لله ومجالسة قوم يتلفظون طيب الكلام كما يتلفظ طيب التمر لتمنيت الموت.

Translation

5.Ḥammād ibn ʿĪsā narrated from Ḥusayn ibn al-Mukhtār who attributed it to Salmān al-Fārsī, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said, “Were it not for prostration before Allah and the gatherings of the [pious ones among the] people who [choose to] utter virtuous words, just as the best dates are plucked [and harvested], I would have wished for death.”

Translation: Shaykh Tahir Ridha Jaffer — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
