Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سُنَّتْ لَكُمُ الرُّكَبُ فَأَمْسِكُوا بِالرُّكَبِ .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Bashshar informed us: Abu Dawud told me: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrahim, from Abu ʿAbd al-Rahman, from ʿUmar, who said: “Holding the knees has been prescribed for you, so hold on to the knees.”
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،
The English witness is abridged in the transmission chain, while the Arabic source preserves it.
Should the English witness include the omitted chain in its separate source record?
