Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Sufyan ibn Waki‘ narrated to us: my father narrated to us, from Isra’il. And Muhammad ibn Ahmad—namely, Ibn Madduwayh—narrated to us: ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us, from Isra’il. The wording is that of ‘Ubayd Allah’s report, from Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani, from al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: “The maternal aunt is in the position of the mother.”

This hadith contains a long story. This hadith is sahih.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic provides two routes through Isra’il and says the wording follows ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Musa’s route from Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani. The English witness includes only the matn and omits both chains, the note about the long story, and the sahih grade.

  • حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ،

    The English witness omits both source chains through Isra'il and the subsequent route through Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani.

    Please review the dual chains and identify which route supplies the wording.

  • ‏ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ ‏.

    The Arabic notes that the hadith contains a long story, but the English witness omits this statement.

    Please review the compiler's note about the longer story.
