أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ صُرَدٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ الْغُسْلُ فَقَالَ " أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُفْرِغُ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلاَثًا " . لَفْظُ سُوَيْدٍ .
‘Ubaydullah ibn Sa‘id informed us, from Yahya, from Shu‘bah, who said: Abu Ishaq narrated to us. And Suwayd ibn Nasr informed us; he said: ‘Abdullah narrated to us, from Shu‘bah, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard Sulayman ibn Sard narrating from Jubayr ibn Mut‘im that the Prophet ﷺ was mentioned in his presence in connection with ghusl, and he said: “As for me, I pour water over my head three times.” This is the wording of Suwayd.
Translation notes
The Arabic presents two transmission routes that converge at Shu‘bah and Abu Ishaq; it explicitly identifies the quoted wording as Suwayd’s.
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ،
The supplied English witness omits the transmitters and alternate route.
Confirm both routes and their point of convergence against the Arabic source.
لَفْظُ سُوَيْدٍ .
The witness leaves out the source’s note identifying the wording as Suwayd’s.
Confirm the placement of this variant attribution.
