حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَقَالَ " إِنَّ لَهُ مُرْضِعًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَوْ عَاشَ لَكَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا . وَلَوْ عَاشَ لَعَتَقَتْ أَخْوَالُهُ الْقِبْطُ وَمَا اسْتُرِقَّ قِبْطِيٌّ " .

Abd al-Quddus ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Dawud ibn Shabib al-Bahili narrated to us; Ibrahim ibn Uthman narrated to us; al-Hakam ibn Utaybah narrated to us, from Miqsam, from Ibn Abbas, who said: ‘When Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), died, the Messenger of Allah performed the prayer over him and said: “He has a wet nurse in Paradise. If he had lived, he would have been a ṣiddiq and a prophet. If he had lived, his maternal uncles, the Copts, would have been set free and no Copt would have been enslaved.”’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Ṣiddiq is retained as a religious term meaning a profoundly truthful or righteous person; the source pairs it with ‘a prophet.’ The reference to the Copts and enslavement is translated as stated.
