Sunan an-Nasa'i 1005
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَرَأْتُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ . قَالَ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ لَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ . فَذَكَرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ سُورَتَيْنِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ .
Ismaʿil ibn Masʿud informed us: Khalid narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, who said: “I heard Abu Waʾil say: A man said in ʿAbdullah’s presence, ‘I recited al-Mufassal in one rakʿah.’ He said: ‘That is hurried recitation, like reciting poetry. I know the corresponding surahs that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite together.’ He then mentioned twenty surahs from al-Mufassal, two surahs at a time in each rakʿah.”
Translation notes
Al-Mufassal is the portion of the Qur’an known by that name; it is retained as a transliterated designation.
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ،
The English witness omits the opening chain from Ismaʿil ibn Masʿud through Shuʿbah, which is present in the Arabic source.
Should the English witness’s omitted chain be restored in its separate source record?
