أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لاَ عُهْدَةَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعٍ " .
The Arabic says “no ʿuhdah after four” and omits the counted noun; in context, it likely refers to days and a post-sale liability period.
Does the bracketed “[days]” make the implied duration clear without concealing that it is absent from the wording?
