Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ النُّمَيْرِيُّ أَبُو الْمُغَلِّسِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّ ثَمَرَ النَّخْلِ لِمَنْ أَبَّرَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ وَأَنَّ مَالَ الْمَمْلُوكِ لِمَنْ بَاعَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ ‏.‏

Abd Rabbih ibn Khalid al-Numayri Abu al-Mughlis narrated to us; al-Fudayl ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Musa ibn Uqbah, who narrated to me from Ishaq ibn Yahya ibn al-Walid ibn Ubadah ibn al-Samit, from Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that the fruit of date palms belongs to whoever pollinated them, unless the buyer stipulates otherwise, and that the property of an enslaved person belongs to the one who sold him, unless the buyer stipulates otherwise.

  • قَالَ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّ ثَمَرَ النَّخْلِ لِمَنْ أَبَّرَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ وَأَنَّ مَالَ الْمَمْلُوكِ لِمَنْ بَاعَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ ‏.

    The report states the default allocation of pollinated palm fruit and an enslaved person’s property, subject to the buyer’s stipulation.

    Does “whoever pollinated them” accurately convey the person referred to by man abbaraha?
