أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَمْشُونَ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ .
Translation
Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, ‘Ali ibn Hujr, and Qutaybah narrated to us, from Sufyan, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, who saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Abu Bakr, and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) walking ahead of the funeral bier.
Translation notes
The three named transmitters are grouped together before the shared route from Sufyan.
