أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، : أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ، مَرَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى قَبْرٍ مُنْتَبِذٍ، فَأَمَّهُمْ وَصَفَّ خَلْفَهُ، قُلْتُ : مَنْ هُوَ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو قَالَ : ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ .
Isma‘il ibn Mas‘ud informed us, saying: Khalid narrated to us, from Shu‘bah, from Sulayman al-Shaybani, from al-Sha‘bi, who said: Someone who had accompanied the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) informed me that he passed by a remote grave with the Messenger of Allah. The Prophet led them in prayer, and they formed rows behind him. I asked, ‘Who was it, Abu ‘Amr?’ He replied, ‘Ibn ‘Abbas.’
Translation notes
: أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ،
The report names an unnamed person as the one who informed al-Sha‘bi, and the later question-and-answer shifts speakers tersely.
Does another route identify the informant or clarify the final speaker transition?
