حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ - عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَنْ يُهْدَى بِهُدَاكَ رَجْلٌ وَاحِدٌ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ ‏"‏ .

Sahl b. Sa’d reported the prophet (ﷺ) as saying: I swear on Allah, it will be better for you that Allah should give guidance to one man through your agency than that you should acquire the red ones among the camels
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। সাহল ইবনু সা‘দ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ আল্লাহর শপথ! যদি তোমার চেষ্টার দ্বারা আল্লাহ একটি লোককে হেদায়েত দেন, তবে তা হবে তোমার জন্য এক পাল লাল উটের চেয়েও উত্তম। সহীহ।
