وَرُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " فَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَ صِيَامِنَا وَصِيَامِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أَكْلَةُ السَّحَرِ " . حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذَلِكَ . قَالَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَأَهْلُ مِصْرَ يَقُولُونَ مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَأَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ يَقُولُونَ مُوسَى بْنُ عُلَىٍّ وَهُوَ مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ اللَّخْمِيُّ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
It is reported from the Prophet that he said: The distinction between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is the pre-dawn meal. Qutaybah narrated this to us, from al-Layth, from Musa ibn Ali, from his father, from Abu Qays, the client of Amr ibn al-As, from Amr ibn al-As, from the Prophet, with this wording. This hadith is hasan sahih. The people of Egypt pronounce the name Musa ibn Ali, while the people of Iraq pronounce it Musa ibn Ulay. He is Musa ibn Ali ibn Rabah al-Lakhmi.

The report itself is introduced as an attributed saying, then its chain and a regional pronunciation note are supplied.
وَأَهْلُ مِصْرَ يَقُولُونَ مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَأَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ يَقُولُونَ مُوسَى بْنُ عُلَىٍّ وَهُوَ مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ اللَّخْمِيُّ .
The Arabic records two regional pronunciations of the same name and then provides the full lineage.
Should transliteration indicate the differing vowel only, or preserve both regional forms as rendered here?
