Sahih al-Bukhari 2920
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ عَبْدَ، الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَالزُّبَيْرَ شَكَوَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَعْنِي الْقَمْلَ ـ فَأَرْخَصَ لَهُمَا فِي الْحَرِيرِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي غَزَاةٍ.
Abu al-Walid told us: Hammam told us, from Qatada, from Anas. Muhammad bin Sinan told us: Hammam told us, from Qatada, from Anas, who reported: Abd al-Rahman bin Awf and al-Zubayr complained to the Prophet ﷺ—meaning, about lice. He allowed them to wear silk, and I saw them wearing it on an expedition.
Translation notes
Both transmission routes in the Arabic are retained.
يَعْنِي الْقَمْلَ
The English witness adds an itching explanation; the Arabic gloss here only identifies lice.
Should the translator leave the cause of the lice complaint unspecified in this occurrence?
