Arabic hadith text

وَعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الصَّعْبُ، فِي الذَّرَارِيِّ كَانَ عَمْرٌو يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَمِعْنَاهُ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الصَّعْبِ، قَالَ ‏"‏ هُمْ مِنْهُمْ ‏"‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ كَمَا قَالَ عَمْرٌو ‏"‏ هُمْ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

From al-Zuhri, who heard 'Ubayd Allah from Ibn 'Abbas: al-Sa'b narrated to us. Regarding the children, 'Amr used to narrate to us from Ibn Shihab, from the Prophet (ﷺ), and we heard it from al-Zuhri, who said: 'Ubayd Allah informed me from Ibn 'Abbas, from al-Sa'b, who said: ‘They are of them.’ He did not say, as 'Amr did, ‘They are of their fathers.’

Translation notes
  • قَالَ ‏"‏ هُمْ مِنْهُمْ ‏"‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ كَمَا قَالَ عَمْرٌو ‏"‏ هُمْ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ ‏"‏‏.

    The Arabic preserves two phrasings: this wording says they are of them, unlike the alternative wording, they are of their fathers. The supplied witness is only a cross-reference and omits the wording.

    Confirm that both transmitted phrasings and their attribution are preserved distinctly.
