حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، وَالْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا دَخَلَ الْخَلاَءَ نَزَعَ خَاتَمَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Ishaq ibn Mansur informed us: Sa‘id ibn Amir and al-Hajjaj ibn Minhal said: Hammam narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, from al-Zuhri, from Anas, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) entered the lavatory, he removed his ring.
Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih gharib.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness begins at Anas and omits the chain of transmitters before him (Ishaq ibn Mansur, Sa‘id ibn Amir, al-Hajjaj ibn Minhal, Hammam, Ibn Jurayj, and al-Zuhri). Khala refers here to the place for relieving oneself; the translation uses ‘lavatory.’
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ،
The English witness omits six transmitters preceding Anas in the Arabic chain.
Can the English witness’s abbreviated isnad be confirmed as an intentional editorial choice?
