Sunan an-Nasa'i 1014
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا كَيْفَ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ كَانَ يَمُدُّ صَوْتَهَ مَدًّا .
ʿAmr ibn ʿAli informed us: ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us: Jarir ibn Hazim narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: “I asked Anas, ‘How did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recite?’ He said: ‘He would prolong his voice with measured prolongation.’”
Translation notes
The Arabic verb describes stretching or prolonging the voice; it does not specify a particular melodic style.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،
The English witness omits the chain before Qatadah, which is present in Arabic.
Should the English witness include the omitted chain in its separate source record?
