حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: جِئْتُ أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ، وَتَرَكْتُ أَبَوَيَّ يَبْكِيَانِ؟ قَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمَا فَأَضْحِكْهُمَا كَمَا أَبْكَيْتَهُمَا

Muhammad ibn Kathir narrated to us. He said: Sufyan narrated to us, from 'Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib, from his father, from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr, who said: A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: “I have come to pledge allegiance to you for emigration, while leaving my parents weeping.” He said: “Go back to them and make them laugh just as you made them weep.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ،
The Arabic contains the chain from Muhammad ibn Kathir through 'Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib's father, but the English witness omits it.
Should the English witness be marked as abridged for this occurrence?
