Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لاَ يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْمَاءِ الدَّائِمِ الَّذِي لاَ يَجْرِي ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ ‏‏ .‏‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالُوا لِهِشَامٍ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَسَّانَ - أَنَّ أَيُّوبَ إِنَّمَا يَنْتَهِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَيُّوبَ لَوِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ لاَ يَرْفَعَ حَدِيثًا لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ ‏‏.‏‏

Translation

Qutaybah informed us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Ibn Sirin, from Abu Hurairah, who said: None of you should urinate in stagnant water that does not flow and then bathe in it. Sufyan said: They asked Hisham—that is, Ibn Hassan—about this: 'Does Ayyub trace this report only to Abu Hurairah?' He replied: 'If Ayyub could avoid attributing a hadith to the Prophet, he would not attribute it to him.'

Translation notes
  • The Arabic includes the chain and a discussion about Ayyub's transmission, which the English witness supplements with an explanatory footnote. That footnote is not part of the Arabic source and is not reproduced.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ،

    The English witness omits the transmission chain and adds a footnote interpreting the technical discussion beyond this Arabic block.

    Please verify the chain and narrator discussion against the Arabic; the added explanation is not included.
