Arabic text

حدثنا أبو الحسن محمد بن عمر [و] بن علي بن عبد الله البصري، قال: حدثنا أبو بكر عبد الله بن علي الكرخي، قال: حدثنا أبو بكر محمد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أبي قال: حدثنا عبد الرزاق الصنعاني، قال: حدثنا معمر، عن الزهري، عن أنس بن مالك قال: صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله صلاة الفجر، فلما انفتل من صلاته أقبل علينا بوجهه الكريم على الله عز وجل ثم قال: معاشر الناس من افتقد الشمس فليستمسك بالقمر، ومن افتقد القمر فليستمسك بالزهرة، فمن افتقد الزهرة فليستمسك بالفرقدين. ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: أنا الشمس، وعلي القمر، وفاطمة الزهرة، والحسن والحسين الفرقدان. وكتاب الله لا يفترقان حتى يردا علي الحوض.

Translation

1. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, Muhammed bin Amru bin Ali bin Abdullah al-Basri, that he said: We were told by Abu Bakr, Abdullah bin Ali al-Karkhi, that he said: We were told by Abu Bakr, Muhammed bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by my father, that he said: We were told by Abdul-Razzaq al-San’ani, that he said: we were told by Mu’ammar, from Zuhri, from Anas bin Malik, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, performed the dawn prayer, and when he departed his prayer, he approached us with his face, that is dignified for Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, and then he said: All people, the one who misses the sun, let him adhere to the moon, and the one who misses the moon, let him adhere to Zuhra [1], and the one who misses Zuhra, let him adhere to the Two Farqads [2]. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: I am the Sun, Ali is the Moon, Fatima is the Zuhra and Hasan and Hussain are the two Farqads. So is the Book of Allah; they will not be separated until they come to me at the basin.
