Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ نَهَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْحَرِيرِ وَخَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا ‏.‏

Translation

ʿUbaydullah ibn Saʿid informed us: Hammad ibn Masʿadah narrated to us, from Ashʿath, from Muhammad, from ʿAbidah, from ʿAli, who said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me al-qassiy, silk, gold rings, and reciting while I was bowing.” Another version says: “And reciting while bowing.”

Translation notes
  • Al-qassiy is retained as a transliteration for the garment named in the source; its precise material or type is not established by this text alone.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ،

    The English witness is abridged in the transmission chain; the Arabic source preserves it.

    Should the English witness include the omitted chain in its separate source record?

  • قَالَ نَهَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْحَرِيرِ وَخَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا ‏.

    The source names al-qassiy, a garment whose precise material or type is not identified here.

    What garment does al-qassiy refer to in this report?

  • قَالَ نَهَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْحَرِيرِ وَخَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا ‏.

    The Arabic preserves an additional wording of the prohibition concerning recitation while bowing; the English witness omits it.

    Should the English witness include this variant wording?
