أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ الأَحْنَفِ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، أَنَّهُ صَلَّى إِلَى جَنْبِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً فَقَرَأَ فَكَانَ إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ وَقَفَ وَتَعَوَّذَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ وَقَفَ فَدَعَا وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ " . وَفِي سُجُودِهِ " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى " .
Muhammad ibn Bashshar informed us: Yahya, ʿAbd al-Rahman, and Ibn Abi ʿAdi narrated to us, from Shuʿbah, from Sulayman, from Saʿd ibn ʿUbaydah, from al-Mustawrid ibn al-Ahnaf, from Silah ibn Zufar, from Hudhayfah, that he prayed beside the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) one night. The Prophet recited; whenever he came to a verse of punishment, he stopped and sought refuge with Allah, and whenever he came to a verse of mercy, he stopped and supplicated. In his bowing he would say, “Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent,” and in his prostration, “Glory be to my Lord, the Most High.”
Translation notes
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،
The English witness omits the chain preceding Hudhayfah, which is present in the Arabic source.
Should the English witness’s omitted isnad be restored in its separate source record?
أَنَّهُ صَلَّى إِلَى جَنْبِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً فَقَرَأَ فَكَانَ إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ وَقَفَ وَتَعَوَّذَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ وَقَفَ فَدَعَا وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ " .
The Arabic says he stopped and supplicated at a verse of mercy; “pause for mercy” omits the supplication.
Should the English witness be revised to include supplication at the mercy verse?
