Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ كَانَ عَلَى ثَقَلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ كِرْكِرَةُ فَمَاتَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ هُوَ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَذَهَبُوا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدُوا عَبَاءَةً قَدْ غَلَّهَا‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ كَرْكَرَةُ، يَعْنِي بِفَتْحِ الْكَافِ، وَهْوَ مَضْبُوطٌ كَذَا‏.‏

Translation

ʿAli ibn ʿAbd Allah narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from ʿAmr, from Salim ibn Abi al-Jaʿd, from ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr, who said: A man called Kirkira was responsible for the Prophet’s belongings. He died, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “He is in the Fire.” They went to look at him and found a cloak that he had appropriated from the spoils. Abu ʿAbd Allah said: Ibn Salam said: “Karkara,” with an a-vowel on the first kaf; that is how it is vocalized.

Translation notes
  • The compiler’s closing note records the vocalization of the man’s name as Karkara, with a fatḥa on the first kāf.
