Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ، أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فِي حَدِيثِ الْحَارِثِ ‏"‏ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالاَ جَمِيعًا ‏"‏ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنْبَأَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ شَطْرٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Malik. Al-Harith ibn Miskin also narrated to us; it was read to him while I listened, from Ibn al-Qasim, who told me: Malik narrated to me, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Amr ibn Hazm, from his father, from ‘Amr ibn Sulaym al-Zuraqi, who said: Abu Humayd al-Sa‘idi informed me that they said, “O Messenger of Allah, how should we invoke blessings upon you?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Say: ‘O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad, his wives, and his offspring.’” In al-Harith’s narration are the words: “‘As You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim; and bless Muhammad, his wives, and his offspring.’” Both narrators said: “‘As You blessed the family of Ibrahim. You are indeed Praiseworthy, Glorious.’” Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman said: “Qutaybah informed us of this hadith twice; perhaps a portion of it was omitted from his transmission.”

Translation notes
  • The text distinguishes wording found in al-Harith’s narration from wording reported by both narrators; both forms are retained. The final sentence is Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman’s source comment.
