Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ، - وَكَانَ لَنَا جَارًا وَدَخِيلاً وَرَبِيطًا بِالنَّهْرَيْنِ - أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ مَعَ كَلْبِي كَلْبًا قَدْ أَخَذَ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيُّهُمَا أَخَذَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn al-Walid ibn Abd al-Hamid narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated to us: Shubah narrated to us, from Said ibn Masruq. Al-Shabi narrated to us and said: I heard Adi ibn Hatim, who was our neighbor, a protected affiliate, and a treaty associate in al-Nahrayn, say that he asked the Prophet: I send out my dog, then find another dog with mine that has caught the game, but I do not know which of them caught it. He said: Do not eat it, for you mentioned the name of Allah over your dog and did not mention it over the other.

  • The source relationship terms دخيلاً and ربيطاً are rendered provisionally; their precise force in this context is uncertain.

  • وَرَبِيطًا بِالنَّهْرَيْنِ - أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ مَعَ كَلْبِي

    The exact social or legal relationship denoted by these terms is uncertain.

    Can the relationship term ربيطاً here be identified more precisely?
