أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْمُجَالِدِيُّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ، وَذَكَرَ، آخَرَ ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا غَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، مِنْهُمُ الْمُغِيرَةُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ وَرَّادٍ، كَاتِبِ الْمُغِيرَةِ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ، كَتَبَ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ أَنِ اكْتُبْ إِلَىَّ بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُغِيرَةُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ انْصِرَافِهِ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ " لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ " . ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ .
Al-Hasan ibn Isma‘il al-Majalidi informed us; he said: Hushaym narrated to us; he said: al-Mughirah informed us—and he mentioned another [narrator]—and [chain shift]; Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim informed us; he said: Hushaym narrated to us; he said: more than one person informed us, among them al-Mughirah, from al-Sha‘bi, from Warrad, the scribe of al-Mughirah, that Mu‘awiyah wrote to al-Mughirah asking him to write to him a hadith he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Mughirah wrote back: I heard him say, upon finishing the prayer: “There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and praise, and He has power over all things”—three times.
Translation notes
وَذَكَرَ،
The source says “and he mentioned another” in the first chain without identifying who is meant or what exactly was mentioned; a chain transition follows. The wording has therefore been kept explicit and bracketed rather than silently repaired.
Can the omitted referent or narrator be identified from a reliable source witness?
