Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1842
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " نِعْمَ الإِدَامُ الْخَلُّ " . هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُبَارَكِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
‘Abdah ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Khuza‘i al-Basri said: Mu‘awiyah ibn Hisham narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Muharib ibn Dithar, from Jabir, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘What an excellent condiment vinegar is.’ This report is more sound than the report of Mubarak ibn Sa‘id.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness adds an editorial reference number and mentions reports from ‘A’ishah and Umm Hani’; neither appears in the Arabic text of this block.
هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُبَارَكِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ .
The Arabic states only that this report is more sound than the report of Mubarak ibn Sa‘id; the other related narrations and number 1839 are absent from this block.
Should the English witness be limited to the comparison actually present in the Arabic block?
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ،
The English witness omits the chain from ‘Abdah ibn ‘Abd Allah through Mu‘awiyah ibn Hisham, Sufyan, and Muharib ibn Dithar.
Should the complete chain be included?
