Arabic hadith text

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ كَانَ يَجْلِسُ إِذَا صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ أُرَاهُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ثمَّ يقوم فيخطب. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

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

Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet used to deliver two sermons. When he ascended the pulpit, he would sit until the caller to prayer finished, I think. Then he would stand and preach, sit without speaking, and then stand and preach again. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

    The narrator tentatively identifies the person who had finished as the caller to prayer.

    Should the narrators uncertainty be preserved?
