Bishr narrated to us, saying: ‘Abd Allah informed us, saying: Musa informed us, saying: I heard my father relate from Suraqah ibn Ju‘shum that the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “O Suraqah, the same applies to you.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source says مِثْلَهُ, ‘the same’; this short report depends on the immediately preceding account and is not expanded here.

  • يَا سُرَاقَةُ مِثْلَهُ

    The source is an elliptical cross-reference and does not restate the teaching to which ‘the same’ refers.

    Should this report remain elliptical in the translation, or should an explicit cross-reference to the preceding report be added in a note?
