Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ رَوَى عَنِّي حَدِيثًا وَهُوَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ كَذِبٌ فَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْكَاذِبَيْنِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنْبَأَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَشْيَبُ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from al-Amash, from al-Hakam, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Ali, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Whoever narrates a report from me while believing it to be false is one of the two liars. Muhammad ibn Abdullah narrated to us: al-Hasan ibn Musa al-Ashyab informed us, from Shubah, with a report like the hadith of Samurah ibn Jundub.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic gives Ali as the source of the report, then adds another chain through Muhammad ibn Abdullah, al-Hasan ibn Musa, and Shubah, describing it as like the report of Samurah ibn Jundub. The second chain note is retained.
