Sunan an-Nasa'i 1076
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، وَشُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، وَسُفْيَانَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي الصُّبْحِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ . وَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
ʿUbaidullah ibn Saʿid informed us: from ʿAbd al-Rahman, from Sufyan and Shuʿbah, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah. Another chain: ʿAmr ibn ʿAli informed us: Yahya narrated to us, from Shuʿbah and Sufyan, who both narrated from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, from Ibn Abi Layla, from al-Baraʾ ibn ʿAzib, that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to perform qunut in the Subh and Maghrib prayers. ʿUbaidullah added: “The Messenger of Allah...” The Arabic source ends here, leaving this final attribution incomplete.
Translation notes
The Arabic contains two chain routes; the first ends before the report text. The final phrase attributed to ʿUbaidullah is an incomplete fragment in the source and is left unfinished.
وَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
The source ends after “ʿUbaidullah said that the Messenger of Allah,” with no predicate or completion.
Is there a continuation for this truncated attribution in another witness?
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ،
The English witness gives the report from al-Baraʾ ibn ʿAzib but omits both Arabic chain routes and the trailing attribution fragment.
Should the English witness preserve the Arabic chain variants and fragment?
