Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ‏:‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ‏؟‏ ثَلاَثًا، قَالُوا‏:‏ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ‏:‏ الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَجَلَسَ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ، مَا زَالَ يُكَرِّرُهَا حَتَّى قُلْتُ‏:‏ لَيْتَهُ سَكَتَ‏.‏

Musaddad narrated to us. He said: Bishr ibn al-Fadl narrated to us. He said: al-Jurayri narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Shall I tell you about the gravest of the grave sins?” He asked this three times. They said: “Yes indeed, Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Associating partners with Allah, and disobedience to parents.” He sat up while he had been reclining and said: “Pay attention: and false testimony.” He kept repeating it until I said: “I wish he would stop.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ،

    The Arabic contains a transmission chain from Musaddad through 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, while the witness begins with Abu Bakrah.

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

  • عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ‏:‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ‏؟

    ثلاثًا marks repetition of the question, but the witness does not state the number.

    Should the witness's omission of the threefold repetition be documented?
