Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ، فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، - رضى الله عنهما - أَنَّ رَجُلاً، وَقَصَهُ بَعِيرُهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُغْسَلَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَلاَ يُمَسَّ طِيبًا وَلاَ يُخَمَّرَ رَأْسُهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُلَبِّدًا ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Kamil, Fudayl ibn Husayn al-Jahdari, narrated this to me: Abu Awana narrated to us, from Abu Bishr, from Saeed ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), that a man was killed when his camel broke his neck while he was in a state of ihram with the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ordered that he be washed with water and lote leaves, that no perfume be applied to him, and that his head not be covered, for he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection with his hair matted.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic reads مُلَبِّدًا, describing matted or compacted hair; the English witness renders this as proclaiming the talbiya.

  • وَقَصَهُ بَعِيرُهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُغْسَلَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَلاَ يُمَسَّ طِيبًا وَلاَ يُخَمَّرَ رَأْسُهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُلَبِّدًا ‏.

    The Arabic has مُلَبِّدًا, which appears to describe hair made matted or compacted, while the English witness reads pronouncing Talbiya.

    Should the Arabic wording be retained as with his hair matted, or is an editorial variant intended to read مُلَبِّيًا (proclaiming the talbiya)?
