أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، زُغْبَةُ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُسَبِّحُ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ قِبَلَ أَىِّ وَجْهٍ تَتَوَجَّهُ وَيُوتِرُ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ .
‘Isa ibn Hammad, Zughbah, Ahmad ibn ‘Amr ibn al-Sarh, and al-Harith ibn Miskin informed us; it was read to them while I listened—and this is the wording of the last of them—from Ibn Wahb, from Yunus, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would perform voluntary prayers while riding, facing whichever direction his mount turned. He would also pray witr on it, but he would not perform the obligatory prayer on it.
Translation notes
The Arabic identifies the transmission as read aloud while the narrator listened and notes that the wording belongs to one of the named transmitters; “the last of them” is used for the closest antecedent.
أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ،
The English witness omits the isnad and the reading/hearing and wording notes.
Confirm the mode of transmission and which narrator’s wording is identified.
