أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الآخِرَةِ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا " . يَدْعُو عَلَى أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَىْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ } .
Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us: ʿAbd al-Razzaq informed us: Maʿmar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ), when he raised his head from the final rakʿah of the Subh prayer, say: “O Allah, curse so-and-so and so-and-so.” He was supplicating against some of the hypocrites. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: “You have no part in the matter: whether He turns to them in mercy or punishes them, for they are wrongdoers.”
Translation notes
The two people are left as “so-and-so” because the Arabic text does not name them.
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،
The English witness begins with Salim and his father, omitting the earlier narrators in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness preserve the full chain of transmission?
