Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي الْكَلاَلَةِ فَمَا الْكَلاَلَةُ قَالَ ‏"‏ تُجْزِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ هُوَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَلَدًا وَلاَ وَالِدًا قَالَ كَذَلِكَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ ‏.‏

Translation

Mansur ibn Abi Muzahim narrated to us: Abu Bakr narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, who said: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘Messenger of Allah, they ask you about kalalah. What is kalalah?’ He replied: ‘The verse of summer is sufficient for you.’ I asked Abu Ishaq: ‘Is it someone who dies leaving neither a child nor a parent?’ He said: ‘That is what they thought it meant.’
