Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Qutaybah narrated to us: Hatim ibn Isma‘il narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Yusuf, from al-Sa’ib ibn Yazid, who said: Yazid performed the Farewell Pilgrimage with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when I was seven years old. ‘Ali ibn al-Madini said, reporting from Yahya ibn Sa‘id al-Qattan: Muhammad ibn Yusuf was reliable and firmly grounded in hadith; al-Sa’ib ibn Yazid was his grandfather. Muhammad ibn Yusuf used to say, ‘Al-Sa’ib ibn Yazid narrated to me, and he was my maternal grandfather.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source text begins with a stray punctuation mark before the chain; it is not rendered as prose. The kinship statement explicitly identifies al-Sa’ib as Muhammad ibn Yusuf’s maternal grandfather.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَجَّ يَزِيدُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَأَنَا ابْنُ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ .
The source begins with a stray punctuation mark before the narration; it appears to be a markup or extraction artifact.
Treat the leading punctuation as an artifact rather than part of the report.
فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانِ كَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ثَبْتًا صَاحِبَ حَدِيثٍ وَكَانَ السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ جَدَّهُ وَكَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ جَدِّي مِنْ قِبَلِ أُمِّي .
The Arabic adds ‘Ali ibn al-Madini’s evaluation of Muhammad ibn Yusuf and the maternal-grandfather relationship, beyond the short English witness.
Keep the biographical chain clarification in the translation.
