Sahih Muslim 1208a
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، وَأَبُو عَاصِمٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ، بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا، وَعِكْرِمَةَ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتَ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، - رضى الله عنها - أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ ثَقِيلَةٌ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ " أَهِلِّي بِالْحَجِّ وَاشْتَرِطِي أَنَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ تَحْبِسُنِي " . قَالَ فَأَدْرَكَتْ .
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abd al-Wahhab ibn Abd al-Majid, Abu Asim, and Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj. (Another chain:) Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us—and this is his wording: Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us: Ibn Jurayj informed us: Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Tawus and Ikrima, the freedman of Ibn Abbas, from Ibn Abbas, that Duba bint al-Zubayr ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah and said: I am a heavy woman and I intend to perform Hajj, so what do you instruct me to do? He said: Enter the state of consecration for Hajj and stipulate that my release from ihram will be wherever You detain me. He said: Then she made it.
Translation notes
- رضى الله عنها - أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ ثَقِيلَةٌ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ " أَهِلِّي بِالْحَجِّ وَاشْتَرِطِي أَنَّ مَحِلِّي حَيْثُ تَحْبِسُنِي " .
The Arabic says امرأة ثقيلة, literally a heavy woman; the English witness instead calls her ailing.
Should this be translated literally as a heavy woman, or does the phrase indicate illness in this context?
قَالَ فَأَدْرَكَتْ .
The Arabic ends with the elliptical فأدركت, without explicitly naming what she attained or completed.
Should the translation preserve the ellipsis as “then she made it,” or supply completion of Hajj from context?
