Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ عَبْدُوسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمَدِينِيِّ يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى كَثِيرٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ قُلْتُ حَدِيثٌ تُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ أَبِيكَ؟ قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِي عَنْ جَدِّي الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَوْلُهُ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَبِي شَدِيدٌ عَلَى ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عُثْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ لَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَعْيَانُ بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَرِوَايَةُ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ أَحْفَظُ
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed me, Abu al-Hasan ibn Abdus informed me. He said: I heard Uthman ibn Sa'id saying: I heard Ali — meaning Ibn al-Madini — saying about this hadith: Sufyan said: I heard Ibn Jurayj saying: Kathir ibn Kathir informed me from his father from his grandfather who said: I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) praying while people were passing. Sufyan said: So I went to Kathir and asked him: A hadith you narrate from your father? He said: I did not hear it from my father. Some of my family narrated it to me from my grandfather al-Muttalib. Ali said: His saying 'I did not hear it from my father' is severe on Ibn Jurayj. Abu Sa'id Uthman said — meaning Ibn Jurayj did not record it accurately. The Shaykh said: It has also been said from Ibn Jurayj from Kathir from his father who said: The leading members of Banu al-Muttalib narrated to me from al-Muttalib. Ibn Uyaynah's narration is better preserved.
