Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَنَتَ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو عَلَى حَىٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ .
Translation
Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us: Muʿadh ibn Hisham informed us: My father narrated to me, from Qatadah, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed qunut for a month, supplicating against one of the Arab tribes, then stopped doing so.
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،
The English witness reports Anas directly and omits the preceding narrators named in the Arabic chain.
Should the English witness include the full chain of transmission?
