Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي إِيَاسٍ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ أَسَمِعْتَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ " . قَالَ نَعَمْ .
Translation
Ishaq ibn Ibrahim reported: Waki narrated to us: Shuubah said: I asked my father, Iyas—Muawiyah ibn Qurrah—Did you hear Anas ibn Malik say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A sister son of a people is one of them? He said: Yes.
Translation notes
The saying identifies a sister son as belonging to the people; the report is kept brief as transmitted.
