Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us, from Hammad ibn Salamah, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, who said: On the day of the Conquest, the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) entered Makkah wearing a black turban.
It is also reported on this subject from Ali, Amr ibn Hurayth, Ibn Abbas, and Rukanah. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Jabir is hasan sahih.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness begins at Jabir and omits the preceding transmitters in the Arabic chain (Muhammad ibn Bashshar, Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, Hammad ibn Salamah, and Abu al-Zubayr). The Arabic has the compiler’s topic note followed by the grading attributed to Abu Isa.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،
The English witness omits four transmitters preceding Jabir in the Arabic chain.
Can the English witness’s abbreviated isnad be confirmed as an intentional editorial choice?
