أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي صَفْوَانَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَبُوهُ، عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا مُوسَى بْنَ طَلْحَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ ذَرْهَا " كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ .
Muhammad ibn ‘Uthman ibn Abi Safwan al-Thaqafi informed us; he said: Bahz ibn Asad narrated to us; he said: Shu‘bah narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn ‘Uthman ibn ‘Abdullah and his father, ‘Uthman ibn ‘Abdullah, heard Musa ibn Talhah relate from Abu Ayyub that a man said: “Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him; establish prayer, give zakah, and maintain ties of kinship. Let her go”—as though he were on his riding mount.
Translation notes
The Arabic says “let her go” (dharha), then adds that he seemed to be on his riding mount. The witness’s footnote about the man holding the reins is not in the Arabic block and has not been imported.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي صَفْوَانَ الثَّقَفِيُّ،
The English witness omits the full chain.
Confirm the isnad against the Arabic source.
قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ ذَرْهَا " كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ .
The source’s brief command dharha is ambiguous without the English-only footnote’s context.
Confirm that the literal command is retained without importing the witness’s footnote.
