بن أبي بكر قَالَ: سَمِعت أبي يَقُولُ: كُنَّا نَنْصَرِفُ فِي رَمَضَانَ مِنَ الْقِيَامِ فَنَسْتَعْجِلُ الْخَدَمَ بِالطَّعَامِ مَخَافَةَ فَوْتِ السَّحُورِ. وَفِي أُخْرَى مَخَافَة الْفجْر. رَوَاهُ مَالك

سَمِعت أبي يَقُولُ
The Arabic identifies the speaker as having heard his father, while the English witness names Ubayy as the speaker of the following statement.
Should the source wording remain as my father, or should the English witness identification of Ubayy be followed?
