حدثنا الحسن بن عبد الله بن سعيد العسكري، قال أخبرنا محمد بن أحمد بن حمدان القشيري، قال: حدثنا المغيرة بن محمد بن المهلب، قال: حدثني أبي، قال: حدثني عبد الله ابن داود، عن فضيل بن مرزوق، عن عطية العوفي، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إني تارك فيكم أمرين أحدهما أطول من الآخر: كتاب الله [عز وجل] حبل ممدود من السماء إلى الأرض طرف بيد الله  ، وعترتي ألا وإنهما لن يفترقا حتى يردا علي الحوض. فقلت لأبي سعيد: من عترته؟ قال: أهل بيته.
1.	We were told by Hasan bin Abdullah bin Sa’eed al-Askari, that he said: We were informed by Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Hamdan al-Qushayri, that he said: We were told by Mughaira bin Muhammed bin Muhlib, that he said: I was told by my father, that he said: I was told by Abdullah ibn Dawud, from Fudayl bin Manzuq, from ‘Atiya al-‘Awfi, from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: «Indeed, I have leaving among you Two Things, one of them is longer than the other: The Book of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, a Rope extended from Heaven to earth, one side in the Hand of Allah; and my Family. Alas, they are, indeed, never to be separated until they approach me at the basin. Then I said to Abu Sa’eed: Who are his Family? He said: His Household.
