Virtues of the Quran's Chapters and Verses
Special Virtues of the Qur'an's Chapters and Verses 46
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو إِيَاسٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ وَهْوَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ.
Ḥajjāj ibn Minḥāl related to us: Shuʿbah related to us, saying: Abū Iyās informed me: I heard ʿAbdullāh ibn Mughaffal say: I saw the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) on the day of the Conquest of Mecca, reciting Sūrat al-Fatḥ while riding his mount.
Translation notes
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ،
The Arabic includes a chain through Ḥajjāj ibn Minḥāl, Shuʿbah and Abū Iyās; the witness begins with ʿAbdullāh ibn Mughaffal. It also appends a separate similar report about recitation in a moving mount and a soft, moving tone, which is absent from this Arabic unit.
Is the appended report separately sourced, and is the witness an abridged rendering of this occurrence’s chain?
