Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، زُغْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ نَوْفَلَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ صَلاَةٌ مَنْ فَاتَتْهُ فَكَأَنَّمَا وُتِرَ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ هِيَ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ خَالَفَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Isa ibn Hammad, Zughbah, informed us; he said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from ‘Irak ibn Malik, to whom it had been conveyed that Nawfal ibn Mu‘awiyah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Among the prayers there is a prayer which, if a person misses it, it is as though he were bereaved of his family and wealth.” Ibn ‘Umar said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘It is the ‘Asr prayer.’” Muhammad ibn Ishaq differed from him.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic says that the report about Nawfal had reached ‘Irak, preserving its indirect transmission. The source does not specify the point of Muhammad ibn Ishaq’s disagreement.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ،

    The English witness omits the opening chain and weakens the report’s indirect-transmission wording.

    Confirm the full chain and the “it had reached him” attribution.
