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.

I came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. 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 bin al-Hakam an-Nakha'i.
