حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فِي صَلاَتِي قَالَ " قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ لَيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَأَبُو الْخَيْرِ اسْمُهُ مَرْثَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيُّ .

Qutaybah narrated to us; al-Layth narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Abu al-Khayr, from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr, from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who said: He asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), ‘Teach me a supplication to say in my prayer.’ He said: ‘Say: “O Allah, I have greatly wronged myself, and none forgives sins except You. So grant me forgiveness from Yourself and have mercy on me; indeed, You are the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”’ He said: ‘This is a hasan sahih gharib hadith. It is the hadith of al-Layth ibn Sa‘d. Abu al-Khayr’s name is Marthad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Yazani.’

قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ لَيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَأَبُو الْخَيْرِ اسْمُهُ مَرْثَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيُّ .
The Arabic provides al-Tirmidhi’s grade, identifies this as a report of al-Layth ibn Sa‘d, and gives Abu al-Khayr’s name; the English witness omits these details.
Should the compiler’s notes be tracked as witness omissions?
