أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَتَاهُ، رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ . فَقَالَ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقْرَأُ النَّظَائِرَ عِشْرِينَ سُورَةً مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ مِنْ آلِ حم .
ʿAmr ibn Mansur informed us: ʿAbdullah ibn Rajaʾ narrated to us: Israʾil reported to us, from Abu Husayn, from Yahya ibn Waththab, from Masruq, from ʿAbdullah. A man came to him and said: “Last night I recited al-Mufassal in one rakʿah.” He replied: “That is hurried recitation, like reciting poetry. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite corresponding surahs: twenty surahs from al-Mufassal, from the Ha-Mim surahs.”
Translation notes
Al-Mufassal and the Ha-Mim surahs are transliterated Qur’anic group designations, as the source names them.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ،
The English witness omits the isnad preceding ʿAbdullah, which is present in the Arabic source.
Should the English witness’s omitted chain be restored in its separate source record?
