Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ إِذَا رَكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا فُرُوعَ أُذُنَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ismaʿil ibn Masʿud informed us: Yazid—meaning Ibn Zurayʿ—informed us; Saʿid narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Nasr ibn ʿAsim, who reported to them from Malik ibn al-Huwairith, that he saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) raise his hands when he bowed and when he raised his head from bowing, until they were level with the upper parts of his ears.

Translation notes
  • أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ،

    The English witness omits the transmitters before Malik ibn al-Huwairith that are explicitly named in the Arabic chain.

    Should the English witness include the full chain of transmission?
