The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيَّرَ غُلَامًا بَيْنَ أَبِيهِ وَأمه. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Abu Huraira said God’s Messenger gave a boy a choice between his father and his mother.
Tirmidhi transmitted it.
