Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ‏:‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْعُو‏:‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى، وَالْعَفَافَ، وَالْغِنَى‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَصْحَابُنَا، عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَالتُّقَى‏.‏

Translation

‘Amr ibn Marzuq related to us: Shu‘ba informed us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas, from ‘Abd Allah, who said: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to supplicate: “O Allah, I ask You for guidance, chastity, and sufficiency.” Our colleagues reported it from ‘Amr with the addition “and piety.”

Translation notes
  • وَقَالَ أَصْحَابُنَا، عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَالتُّقَى

    The Arabic attributes a variant to “our colleagues,” transmitted from ‘Amr, and adds “piety”; the English witness gives only the added term.

    Does this clause indicate that the narrators' colleagues transmitted an expanded version from ‘Amr?
