Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ يُحَدِّثُهُ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ‏:‏ رَأَيْتُهُ، قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ‏:‏ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ نَعَمْ مُسْتَلْقِيًا، وَاضِعًا إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى‏.‏

Malik ibn Isma‘il related to us: Ibn ‘Uyaynah related to us: I heard al-Zuhri narrating to him, from ‘Abbad ibn Tamim, from his paternal uncle, who said: I saw him. I asked Ibn ‘Uyaynah, ‘The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?’ He said, ‘Yes—lying on his back, with one leg over the other.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic leaves the paternal uncle unnamed in this text; the English witness identifies him as ‘Abd Allah ibn Zayd ibn ‘Asim al-Mazini.

  • عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ

    The Arabic source does not name the uncle, though the English witness supplies a name.

    Should the uncle remain unnamed unless confirmed from an authorized contextual source?
