أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَامَ فَقُمْنَا، وَرَأَيْنَاهُ قَعَدَ فَقَعَدْنَا .
Isma‘il ibn Mas‘ud informed us, saying: Khalid narrated to us, saying: Shu‘bah narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir informed me, from Mas‘ud ibn al-Hakam, from ‘Ali, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stand, so we stood; and when we saw him sit, we sat.
Translation notes
قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَامَ فَقُمْنَا،
The English witness gives a different report about a discussion of standing by a funeral; the Arabic says ‘Ali saw the Prophet stand and the Companions stood, then saw him sit and they sat.
Is the English witness attached to the wrong source passage?
