Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو قَزَعَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ وَحَسَنًا، أَخْبَرَهُمَا أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا أَتَوْا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ فِدَاءَكَ مَاذَا يَصْلُحُ لَنَا مِنَ الأَشْرِبَةِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي النَّقِيرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ فِدَاءَكَ أَوَتَدْرِي مَا النَّقِيرُ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمِ الْجِذْعُ يُنْقَرُ وَسَطُهُ وَلاَ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَلاَ فِي الْحَنْتَمَةِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُوكَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bakkar al-Basri narrated to me; Abu Asim narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj. H. Muhammad ibn Rafi narrated to me—and his is the wording—Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us; Ibn Jurayj informed us, saying: Abu Qaza'ah informed me that Abu Nadrah informed him, and Hasan informed them both, that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri informed him that when the delegation of Abd al-Qays came to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they said, ‘Prophet of Allah, may Allah make us your ransom, what beverages are suitable for us?’ He said, ‘Do not drink from the naqir.’ They said, ‘Prophet of Allah, may Allah make us your ransom, do you know what the naqir is?’ He said, ‘Yes, it is a trunk whose middle is hollowed out. Do not use the dubba or the hantama; use a tied-mouth waterskin.’

Translation notes
  • لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي النَّقِيرِ

    The witness calls the naqir a wine jar, while the Arabic names the vessel and then explains it as a hollowed tree trunk.

    Should this witness gloss be noted as an added identification beyond the initial Arabic naming?
