Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا صَالِحٍ، يَذْكُرُ ـ أُرَاهُ ـ عَنْ جَابِرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ جَاءَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ ـ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ ـ مِنَ النَّقِيعِ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَلاَّ خَمَّرْتَهُ، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَعْرُضَ عَلَيْهِ عُودًا ‏" ‏‏.‏ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا‏.‏

Translation

ʿUmar ibn Ḥafṣ narrated to us: My father narrated to us: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, saying: I heard Abū Ṣāliḥ mention—I think he reported it—from Jābir (may God be pleased with him), who said: “Abū Ḥumayd, a man from the Anṣār, came from al-Naqīʿ to the Prophet ﷺ with a vessel of milk. The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Would you not cover it, even by laying a stick across it?’” Abū Sufyān narrated to me the same report from Jābir, from the Prophet ﷺ.

Translation notes
  • The narrator marks uncertainty about the link after Abū Ṣāliḥ with “I think.”
