Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 14
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الْفُدَيْكِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَّةَ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئِ ابْنَةِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَرْضَهُ صَاحَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: عَلَيْكِ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ، تَقُولُ: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، يَقُولُ: رَحِمَكِ اللَّهُ رَبَّيْتِنِي صَغِيرًا، فَتَقُولُ: يَا بُنَيَّ، وَأَنْتَ فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا وَرَضِيَ عَنْكَ كَمَا بَرَرْتَنِي كَبِيرًا قَالَ مُوسَى: كَانَ اسْمُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو.

'Abd al-Rahman ibn Shaybah narrated to us. He said: Ibn Abi Fudayk informed me. He said: Musa narrated to me, from Abu Hazim: Abu Murrah, the client of Umm Hani', daughter of Abu Talib, informed him that he rode with Abu Hurayrah to his property at al-'Aqiq. When Abu Hurayrah entered his property, he called out at the top of his voice: “Peace be upon you, dear mother, and Allah's mercy and blessings!” She would say: “And peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.” He would say: “May Allah have mercy on you; you raised me when I was little.” She would say: “My son, may He reward you well and be pleased with you, as you were dutiful to me when you grew up.” Musa said: “The name of Abu Hurayrah was 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr.”

وَأَنْتَ فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا وَرَضِيَ عَنْكَ كَمَا بَرَرْتَنِي كَبِيرًا قَالَ مُوسَى: كَانَ اسْمُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو.
The source explicitly gives this identification in Musa's closing statement, but the excerpt provides no basis to verify or resolve it. The English witness omits the statement.
Can this reported identification be checked against the source edition while retaining the wording as transmitted?
وَأَنْتَ فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا وَرَضِيَ عَنْكَ كَمَا بَرَرْتَنِي كَبِيرًا قَالَ مُوسَى: كَانَ اسْمُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو.
The English witness ends with the mother's reply and omits Musa's closing identification of Abu Hurayrah's name.
Should the English witness be marked incomplete at this point?
