حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِذَا اشْتَكَيْتَ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ حَيْثُ تَشْتَكِي وَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ مِنْ وَجَعِي هَذَا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ يَدَكَ ثُمَّ أَعِدْ ذَلِكَ وِتْرًا فَإِنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَدَّثَهُ بِذَلِكَ . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ هَذَا شَيْخٌ بَصْرِيٌّ .

Thabit al-Bunani said to Muhammad: ‘When you feel pain, place your hand where it hurts and say: “In the name of Allah. I seek refuge in Allah’s might and power from the evil of the pain I feel.” Then lift your hand and repeat that an odd number of times.’ Anas ibn Malik told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told him this. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan gharib hadith through this route. Muhammad ibn Salim is a Basran shaykh.

The Arabic chain names Muhammad ibn Salim, whereas the English witness says Muhammad ibn Sulaim; translated as given in the Arabic.
قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ هَذَا شَيْخٌ بَصْرِيٌّ .
The English witness omits Abu ‘Isa’s grade and identification of Muhammad ibn Salim as a Basran shaykh.
Should the compiler’s grading and narrator note be retained?
