Sahih Muslim 189a
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الأَشْعَثِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، وَابْنِ، أَبْجَرَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ، رِوَايَةً إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعَا الشَّعْبِيَّ، يُخْبِرُ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Sa‘id ibn ‘Amr al-Ash‘athi narrated to us: Sufyan ibn ‘Uyayna narrated to us, from Mutarrif and Ibn Abjar, from al-Sha‘bi, who said: I heard al-Mughira ibn Shu‘ba—as a report, Allah willing. Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us: Mutarrif ibn Tarif and ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Sa‘id narrated to us; they heard al-Sha‘bi reporting from al-Mughira ibn Shu‘ba, who said: I heard him on the pulpit, attributing it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
Translation notes
The first chain contains the brief phrase riwayatan in sha Allah before the transmission marker; it is retained cautiously rather than expanded into a claim about the report.
رِوَايَةً إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ح
The first chain includes the fragment ‘riwayatan in sha Allah’ followed by a transmission marker; its syntactic relation to the preceding statement is unclear.
Should a later editor retain this as a parenthetical transmission note or omit it as a scribal/editorial fragment?
