Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَفِظْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ‏:‏ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ‏:‏ وَحَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ بِرَكْعَتَيِ الْغَدَاةِ، وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَرَاهُمَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏

Qutaybah ibn Sa'id related to us: Marwan ibn Mu'awiyah al-Fazari related to us, from Ja'far ibn Burqan, from Maymun ibn Mihran, from Ibn 'Umar, who said: I memorized from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, eight rak'ahs: two before Zuhr, two after it, two after Maghrib, and two after 'Isha'. Ibn 'Umar said: Hafsah told me about the two rak'ahs of dawn, but I did not see the Prophet perform them.

  • حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ

    The English witness omits the transmission chain.

    Should the omitted chain be checked against another English witness?

  • وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَرَاهُمَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏

    The English witness says the narrator did not see them performed by the Prophet; the Arabic wording conveys this directly, while ‘performed’ is supplied in English.

    Does the witness's supplied verb make the intended reference clear?
