حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَكَانَ فَصُّهُ حَبَشِيًّا . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَبُرَيْدَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Qutaybah and more than one other narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Wahb, from Yunus, from Ibn Shihab, from Anas, who said: The Prophet’s ring was made of silver, and its bezel was Abyssinian.
It is also reported on this subject from Ibn Umar and Buraydah. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih gharib through this route.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness begins at Anas and omits the preceding chain, including the note that Qutaybah narrated alongside more than one other transmitter. ‘Abyssinian’ translates habashi, describing the bezel/setting; the Arabic does not specify what its material was.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ،
The English witness omits the chain preceding Anas and the Arabic indication that more than one transmitter narrated alongside Qutaybah.
Can the English witness’s abbreviated isnad be confirmed as an intentional editorial choice?
