Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ - عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ بِمُدٍّ وَيَغْتَسِلُ بِنَحْوِ الصَّاعِ ‏.‏

Translation

Harun ibn Ishaq al-Kufi informed us: 'Abdah—that is, Ibn Sulayman—narrated to us, from Sa'id, from Qatadah, from Safiyyah bint Shaybah, from 'A'ishah, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform ablution with a mudd and perform ghusl with approximately a sa'.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic distinguishes ablution (wudu) using a mudd from ghusl using approximately a sa'. The English witness incorrectly says ghusl for both amounts and omits the chain.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْكُوفِيُّ،

    The witness omits the chain and renders the first act as ghusl, while the Arabic says wudu.

    Please verify both the chain and the distinction between ablution and ghusl.
