Letters
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ: مِنْ فُلاَنٍ إِلَى فُلانٍ.
Abu Hurayra said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'A man from the tribe of Israel - and he mentioned
the entire hadith - had his friend write to him, 'From so-and-so to
so-and-so.'"
