The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏.‏ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، وَرِثَ مِنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ دَارَهَا قَالَ وَكَانَتْ حَفْصَةُ قَدْ أَسْكَنَتْ بِنْتَ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ مَا عَاشَتْ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَتْ بِنْتُ زَيْدٍ قَبَضَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْمَسْكَنَ وَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَهُ ‏.‏
Malik related to me from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar inherited the house of Hafsa bint Umar. He said, "Hafsa gave lodging to the daughter of Zayd ibn al-Khattab for as long as she lived. When the daughter of Zayd died, Abdullah ibn Umar took possession of the dwelling and considered that it was his."
