حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ‏:‏ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُصَابٌ عَلَى نِسْوَةٍ، فَتَضَاحَكْنَ بِهِ يَسْخَرْنَ، فَأُصِيبَ بَعْضُهُنَّ‏.‏

Isma‘il related to us, saying: My brother related to me, from Sulayman ibn Bilal, from ‘Alqama ibn Abi ‘Alqama, from his mother, from ‘A’isha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: A man afflicted with a condition passed by some women. They laughed at him mockingly, and some of them were afflicted in turn.

  • فَأُصِيبَ بَعْضُهُنَّ

    The Arabic says that some of them were afflicted; the witness specifies one.

    Should the plural sense be retained?
