Sahih Muslim 176b
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ جَمِيعًا عَنْ وَكِيعٍ، - قَالَ الأَشَجُّ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، - حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ أَبِي جَهْمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ { مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى} { وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى} قَالَ رَآهُ بِفُؤَادِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ .
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba and Abu Sa‘id al-Ashajj narrated to us, both from Waki‘. Al-Ashajj said: Waki‘ narrated to us. Al-A‘mash narrated to us, from Ziyad ibn al-Husayn Abu Jahma, from Abu al-‘Aliya, from Ibn ‘Abbas, who said regarding the verses, The heart did not deny what it saw and He certainly saw him another time: He saw him with his heart twice.
Translation notes
The pronoun in the final statement is left unspecified, following the Arabic.
قَالَ { مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى} { وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى} قَالَ رَآهُ بِفُؤَادِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ .
The referent of the pronoun in the final statement is implicit in the surrounding discussion, not named in that statement.
Should a later editor retain the unspecified pronoun or identify its referent from context?
