Dialects and Readings of the Qur'an (Kitab Al-Huruf Wa Al-Qira'at)

Dawud :: Book 30 : Hadith 3977

Narrated Farwah ibn Musayk al-Ghutayfi:

I came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). He then narrated the rest of the tradition.

A man from the people said: "Apostle of Allah! tell us about Saba'; what is it: land or woman? He replied: It is neither land nor woman; it is a man to whom ten children of the Arabs were born: six of them lived in the Yemen and four lived in Syria.

The narrator Uthman said al-Ghatafani instead of al-Ghutayfi. He said: It has been transmitted to us by al-Hasan ibn al-Hakam an-Nakha'i.
