Sahih Muslim
Sahih Muslim 1200b
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ مَا يَقْتُلُ الْمُحْرِمُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي إِحْدَى نِسْوَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ - أَوْ أُمِرَ - أَنْ تُقْتَلَ الْفَارَةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ وَالْغُرَابُ .
Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us: Zayd ibn Jubayr narrated that a man asked Ibn Umar: ‘Which animals may a person in ihram kill?’ He replied: ‘One of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told me that he ordered—or was ordered—that the rat, scorpion, kite, vicious dog, and crow be killed.’
Translation notes
سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ مَا يَقْتُلُ الْمُحْرِمُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي إِحْدَى نِسْوَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ - أَوْ أُمِرَ - أَنْ تُقْتَلَ الْفَارَةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ وَالْغُرَابُ .
The source preserves a voice variant: active he ordered or passive he was ordered, leaving the agent in the second wording unstated.
Should the English retain both active and passive readings, as translated?
