حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ، رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ، رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ، قَالُوا‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ وَالِدَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْكِبْرِ، أَوْ أَحَدَهُمَا، فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ‏.‏

Khalid ibn Makhlad narrated to us. He said: Sulayman ibn Bilal narrated to us. He said: Suhayl narrated to us, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said: “May his nose be rubbed in dust! May his nose be rubbed in dust! May his nose be rubbed in dust!” They said: “Messenger of Allah, who?” He said: “The one who reaches old age with both parents, or one of them, and then enters the Fire.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ،

    The Arabic includes the chain from Khalid ibn Makhlad through Abu Hurayrah; the witness omits it.

    Should the English witness be marked as abridged for this occurrence?

  • عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ،

    The Arabic repeats the idiomatic formula without an explanatory gloss; a direct rendering may leave its force less explicit.

    Should the witness's parenthetical interpretation be treated as an attributed gloss?
