Chapter 13
الْقَدْرِ الَّذِي يَكْتَفِي بِهِ الإِنْسَانُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ لِلْوُضُوءِ وَالْغُسْلِ
'Amr ibn 'Ali informed us: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated to us: 'Abdullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn Jabr narrated to me: I heard Anas ibn Malik say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform ablution with a makkuk and perform ghusl with five makkuks.
Translation notes
The chain and the Arabic unit of measure, makkuk/makkuks, are retained; no conversion is supplied.
يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَوَضَّأُ بِمَكُّوكٍ وَيَغْتَسِلُ بِخَمْسَةِ مَكَاكِيَّ .
The source uses the unit makkuk without specifying a modern volume conversion.
Please verify that the unit should remain transliterated without adding a conversion.
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.
Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq informed us: al-Hasan ibn Musa narrated to us; Shayban narrated to us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from his mother, from 'A'ishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform ablution with a mudd and ghusl with a sa'.
Translation notes
The full chain is translated though the English witness gives only 'A'ishah. This Arabic wording has no qualifier meaning approximately before the sa'.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ،
The English witness omits the transmission chain.
Please verify the chain against the Arabic source.
