Sunan an-Nasa'i 1877
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي طَلْقُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَحَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي، طَلْقُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِابْنٍ لَهَا يَشْتَكِي فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ ثَلاَثَةً . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَقَدِ احْتَظَرْتِ بِحِظَارٍ شَدِيدٍ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
Ishaq informed us: Jarir informed us: Talq ibn Mu‘awiyah and Hafs ibn Ghiyath told me. He said: My grandfather, Talq ibn Mu‘awiyah, told me, from Abu Zur‘ah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah with a son of hers who was ill. She said: ‘Messenger of Allah, I fear for him; I have already lost three children.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘You have indeed built a strong barrier against the Fire.’
Translation notes
قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي،
The Arabic names Talq ibn Mu‘awiyah and Hafs ibn Ghiyath as informants, then says ‘he said: my grandfather, Talq ibn Mu‘awiyah, told me’; the referent of ‘he’ is unclear and the chain appears to repeat Talq ibn Mu‘awiyah.
Please verify the narrator intended by ‘he said’ before ‘my grandfather, Talq ibn Mu‘awiyah, told me.’
