أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَدْعُو فِي الصَّلاَةِ حِينَ يَقُولُ " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ " . ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ " اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ " . ثُمَّ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ " . فَيَسْجُدُ وَضَاحِيَةُ مُضَرَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُخَالِفُونَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
ʿAmr ibn ʿUthman informed us: Baqiyyah narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Hamzah, who said: Muhammad narrated to me, from Saʿid ibn al-Musayyab and Abu Salamah ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman, that Abu Hurairah used to relate that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would supplicate during the prayer when saying, “Allah hears whoever praises Him; our Lord, to You is all praise.” Then, while standing and before prostrating, he would say: “O Allah, rescue al-Walid ibn al-Walid, Salamah ibn Hisham, ʿAyyash ibn Abi Rabiʿah, and the oppressed among the believers. O Allah, intensify Your pressure upon Mudar and afflict them with years like the years of Joseph.” Then he would say, “Allah is the Greatest,” and prostrate. The people on the outskirts of Mudar were then in opposition to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
Translation notes
The Arabic says “the oppressed among the believers” and does not specify that they were in Mecca in this narration.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ،
The English witness begins with Abu Hurairah and omits the transmitters in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ " اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ " .
The English witness specifies “in Makkah,” but the Arabic here says only “the oppressed among the believers.”
Should “in Makkah” be included when it is absent from this Arabic text?
