Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ قَالَتْ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي سُكْنَى وَلاَ نَفَقَةً - قَالَتْ - فَوَضَعَ لِي عَشْرَةَ أَقْفِزَةٍ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ خَمْسَةُ شَعِيرٍ وَخَمْسَةُ تَمْرٍ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ صَدَقَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ فُلاَنٍ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا طَلَّقَهَا طَلاَقًا بَائِنًا ‏.‏

Translation

It was narrated from Abu Bakr bin Abi Al-Jahm that he and Abu Salamah visited Fatimah bint Qais. She said: 'My husband divorced me and provided neither housing nor maintenance.' She added: 'He left ten qafiz measures for me with one of his cousins—five of barley and five of dates. I went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about it. He said: He has spoken truthfully.' He instructed me to observe my waiting period in the home of so-and-so. Her husband had divorced her irrevocably.'

Translation notes
  • عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ،

    The Arabic names the narrator Abu Bakr bin Abi Al-Jahm, while the English witness says Abu Bakr bin Hafs.

    Should the narrator be rendered as Abu Bakr bin Abi Al-Jahm, following the Arabic source?
