Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَلاَ أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ صَلاَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَلَّى فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ يَدَيْهِ إِلاَّ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ‏.‏

Translation

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan al-Marwazi informed us: Wakiʿ narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from ʿAsim ibn Kulayb, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullah, who said: “Shall I not pray for you as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed?” Then he prayed and did not raise his hands except once.

Translation notes
  • أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ،

    The English witness omits the transmitters before ʿAbdullah named in the Arabic chain.

    Should the English witness include the full chain of transmission?
