Sahih Muslim 1193b
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ أَهْدَيْتُ لَهُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ . كَمَا قَالَ مَالِكٌ . وَفِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ وَصَالِحٍ أَنَّ الصَّعْبَ بْنَ جَثَّامَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ .
Yahya ibn Yahya, Muhammad ibn Rumh, and Qutayba narrated to us, all from al-Layth ibn Sa'd. In another chain, Abd ibn Humayd informed us: Abd al-Razzaq informed us: Ma'mar informed us. In another chain, Hasan al-Hulwani narrated to us: Yaqub narrated to us: My father narrated to us, from Salih. All of them report from al-Zuhri with this chain: ‘I offered him a wild donkey,’ as Malik said. In the versions of al-Layth and Salih, al-Sa'b ibn Jaththama informed him.
Translation notes
كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ أَهْدَيْتُ لَهُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ . كَمَا قَالَ مَالِكٌ . وَفِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ وَصَالِحٍ أَنَّ الصَّعْبَ بْنَ جَثَّامَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ
The English witness gives only the short phrase about presenting a wild donkey and omits the Arabic chain variants and the note about al-Sa`b ibn Jaththama.
Can a fuller English witness be linked to these Arabic chain details, or should the historical witness be treated as abbreviated?
