حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، وَعَلِيٌّ، ابْنَا الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَرَّادِ أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، حَدَّثَهُمَا أَنَّ أَبَاهُ الْمُنْذِرَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ذَهَبَ إِلَى سُوقِ النَّبِيطِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ " لَيْسَ هَذَا لَكُمْ بِسُوقٍ " . ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى سُوقٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ " لَيْسَ هَذَا لَكُمْ بِسُوقٍ " . ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى هَذَا السُّوقِ فَطَافَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " هَذَا سُوقُكُمْ فَلاَ يُنْتَقَصَنَّ وَلاَ يُضْرَبَنَّ عَلَيْهِ خَرَاجٌ " .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir al-Hizami narrated to us; Ishaq ibn Ibrahim ibn Said narrated to us; Safwan ibn Sulaym narrated to me; Muhammad and Ali, the sons of al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Barrad, narrated to me that al-Zubayr ibn al-Mundhir ibn Abi Usayd al-Saidi related to them that his father, al-Mundhir, related to him from Abu Usayd—and that Abu Usayd related to him—that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the market of the Nabīt, looked at it, and said: “This is not a market for you.” Then he went to another market, looked at it, and said: “This is not a market for you.” Then he returned to this market, walked around in it, and said: “This is your market. It must not be reduced, and no levy must be imposed upon it.”

ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى هَذَا السُّوقِ فَطَافَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " هَذَا سُوقُكُمْ فَلاَ يُنْتَقَصَنَّ وَلاَ يُضْرَبَنَّ عَلَيْهِ خَرَاجٌ " .
The final instruction says the market should not be diminished and no kharaj levied upon it; kharaj is rendered broadly as a levy or tax.
Does “no levy must be imposed upon it” adequately convey the market-specific kharaj?
ابْنَا الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَرَّادِ أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ،
The transmission names Muhammad and Ali as sons of al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Barrad, then gives al-Zubayr’s route through his father al-Mundhir to Abu Usayd.
Does the translation preserve the successive family links in this chain?
