أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَهِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَنَتَ شَهْرًا - قَالَ شُعْبَةُ لَعَنَ رِجَالاً وَقَالَ هِشَامٌ يَدْعُو عَلَى أَحْيَاءٍ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ - ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ . هَذَا قَوْلُ هِشَامٍ وَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَنَتَ شَهْرًا يَلْعَنُ رِعْلاً وَذَكْوَانَ وَلِحْيَانَ .
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna informed us: Abu Dawud narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated from Qatadah, from Anas; and Hisham narrated from Qatadah, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed qunut for a month. Shuʿbah said, “He cursed some men,” while Hisham said, “He supplicated against some Arab tribes.” Then he stopped doing it after bowing. This is Hisham’s account. Shuʿbah also narrated from Qatadah, from Anas, that the Prophet (ﷺ) performed qunut for a month, invoking a curse upon Riʿl, Dhakwan, and Lihyan.
Translation notes
The report preserves differing descriptions attributed to Shuʿbah and Hisham, followed by a second version from Shuʿbah naming the groups.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،
The English witness starts with Anas and omits the Arabic transmission chains through Abu Dawud, Shuʿbah, Hisham, and Qatadah.
Should the English witness include the full transmission routes?
