Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ لِرَجُلٍ ‏"‏ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لِي ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الشَّمْسُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لِي ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الشَّمْسُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لِي ‏"‏‏.‏ فَنَزَلَ، فَجَدَحَ لَهُ، فَشَرِبَ، ثُمَّ رَمَى بِيَدِهِ هَا هُنَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ اللَّيْلَ أَقْبَلَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ ‏" ‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ جَرِيرٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ‏.‏

Translation

Ali bin Abdullah narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq al-Shaybani, who heard Ibn Abi Awfa, may Allah be pleased with him, say: We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on a journey. He said to a man: Get down and mix a drink of grain meal for me. The man said: Messenger of Allah, the sun is still visible. He repeated: Get down and mix a drink for me. The man again said: Messenger of Allah, the sun is still visible. He said a third time: Get down and mix a drink for me. So the man got down, prepared it for him, and he drank. Then he gestured with his hand over there and said: When you see night approaching from that direction, the fasting person may break his fast. Jarir and Abu Bakr bin Ayyash also narrated it from al-Shaybani, from Ibn Abi Awfa, who said: I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on a journey.

Translation notes
  • The English witness identifies the prepared drink as sawiq, a powdered grain meal; the Arabic here uses the verb for mixing or preparing it.
