Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، أَنْبَأَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَنَّ مُخَارِقًا، أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَجْنَبَ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَصَبْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَجْنَبَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَتَيَمَّمَ وَصَلَّى فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ نَحْوًا مِمَّا قَالَ لِلآخَرِ يَعْنِي ‏"‏ أَصَبْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-A‘la informed us; Umayyah ibn Khalid informed us; Shu‘bah narrated to us that Mukhariq informed them, from Tariq ibn Shihab, that a man became junub and did not pray. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about it, and he said: “You did the right thing.” Then another man became junub, performed tayammum, and prayed. He came to him, and the Prophet said to him something like what he had said to the other man—that is, “You did the right thing.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic explicitly glosses the final phrase as meaning “You did the right thing.”

  • أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى،

    The English witness omits the complete chain of transmission.
