كتاب الوتر

Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مُرَّةَ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَيَسِّرِ الْهُدَى إِلَىَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ ‏"‏ هُدَاىَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ سَمِعَ سُفْيَانُ مِنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالُوا ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ حَدِيثًا ‏.‏

English Translation

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by 'Amr b. Murrah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds:

"And make right guidance easy for me." The narrator did not say: "my right guidance". Abu Dawud said: Sufyan heard eighteen traditions from 'Amr b. Murrah.
