حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ النَّخَعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَبْرَةَ النَّخَعِيُّ ،عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ مُسَيْكٍ الْغُطَيْفِيِّ ، قَالَ : " أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ سَبَأٍ مَا هُوَ أَرْضٌ أَمْ امْرَأَةٌ ؟ فَقَالَ : " لَيْسَ بِأَرْضٍ وَلَا امْرَأَةٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ وَلَدَ عَشْرَةً مِنْ الْعَرَبِ فَتَيَامَنَ سِتَّةٌ وَتَشَاءَمَ أَرْبَعَةٌ " ، قَالَ : عُثْمَانُ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ مَكَانَ الْغُطَيْفِيِّ ، وَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا : الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ النَّخَعِيُّ .
Narrated Farwah ibn Musayk al-Ghutayfi: I came to the Prophet ﷺ. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. A man from the people said: "Messenger 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.
