Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، سَمِعَ سُفْيَانَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَيْرًا، مَوْلَى أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَتْ شَكَّ النَّاسُ فِي صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ، فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ لَبَنٌ فَشَرِبَ‏.‏ فَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ رُبَّمَا قَالَ شَكَّ النَّاسُ فِي صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ‏.‏ فَإِذَا وُقِفَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هُوَ عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Ḥumaydī narrated to us. He heard Sufyān say: Sālim Abū al-Naḍr informed us that he heard ʿUmayr, the client of Umm al-Faḍl, relate from Umm al-Faḍl. She said: “People were uncertain whether the Messenger of God ﷺ was fasting on the day of ʿArafah, so I sent him a vessel containing milk, and he drank it.” Sufyān would sometimes say: “People were uncertain whether the Messenger of God ﷺ was fasting on the day of ʿArafah, so Umm al-Faḍl sent it to him.” When pressed about the attribution, he would say: “It is from Umm al-Faḍl.”

Translation notes
  • The closing phrase literally says “when he was challenged/pressed about it”; it concerns attribution of the report.
