Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا، حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَخَّصَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَالزُّبَيْرِ فِي قَمِيصٍ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ، مِنْ حِكَّةٍ كَانَتْ بِهِمَا.
Translation
Anas reported: The Prophet ﷺ allowed Abd al-Rahman bin Awf and al-Zubayr to wear silk shirts because they suffered from itching.
Translation notes
The Arabic states that they had itching; the English witness specifies a skin disease, which is not included in the source wording.
مِنْ حِكَّةٍ كَانَتْ بِهِمَا
The witness names a skin disease, while the Arabic only says they had itching.
Should the translation preserve the broader wording without identifying a specific disease?
