Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Muhammad ibn Humayd al-Razi narrated to us: Jarir narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from al-Salt ibn Abdullah ibn Nawfal, who said: I saw Ibn Abbas wearing a ring on his right hand, and I can only suppose he said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) wearing a ring on his right hand.’
Abu Isa said: Muhammad ibn Ismail said: The report of Muhammad ibn Ishaq from al-Salt ibn Abdullah ibn Nawfal is hasan sahih.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness begins at al-Salt ibn Abdullah ibn Nawfal and omits the preceding chain (Muhammad ibn Humayd al-Razi, Jarir, and Muhammad ibn Ishaq). The narrator’s qualification ‘I can only suppose he said’ is preserved rather than stated as certain.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ،
The English witness omits three transmitters preceding al-Salt in the Arabic chain.
Can the English witness’s abbreviated isnad be confirmed as an intentional editorial choice?
