Parallel reading

وبازن بالحق مبازنة: جاء به.

And to bring forth with truth is to bring it.

والأبزن، مثلثة الأول: حوض يغتسل فيه، وقد يتخذ من نحاس ومن صفر.

And al-abzan (with three pronunciations for the first letter) is a basin in which one washes, and it may be made of copper or brass.

وقد جاء في شعر قديم: قال أبو دواد الإيادي يصف فرسا وصفه بانتفاخ جنبيه: أجوف الجوف فهو منه هواء مثل ما جاف أبزنا نجاروجاف: وسع جوفه.

And it has come in old poetry: Abu Dawud al-Iyadi described a horse, describing the swelling of its flanks: 'Its belly is hollow, so it is air within it, like what a carpenter widened its hollow.'

وقال ابن بري: الأبزن: شيء يعمله النجار مثل التابوت، وأنشد بيت أبي دواد المذكور، وهو فارسي (معرب آب زن).

And Ibn al-Bari said: Al-abzan is a thing a carpenter makes, like a coffin, and he cited the aforementioned verse of Abu Dawud, and it is Persian (a loanword from 'ab zan').

وأهل مكة يقولون بازان للأبزن الذي يأتي إليه ماء العين عند الصفا يريدون آب ز ن، لأنه شبه حوض.

And the people of Mecca say 'Bazan' for the basin from which the spring water comes at Al-Safa, meaning 'ab zan', because it resembles a basin.

قال شيخنا، رحمه الله: المشهور عندهم أن بازان اسم للعين برمتها في سائر منافذها ولا يخصونه بالمنفذ الذي عند الصفا فقط كما يوهمه كلام المصنف، وإنما سمى أهل مكة مجتمع الماء الذي بالصفا والذي بالمزدلفة بازان، لأن الذي عمره كان اسمه بازان لا إنهم حرفوه وتصرفوا فيه من آب زن كما زعم المصنف، رحمه الله تعالى، لأن آب ز ن ظرف من نحاس يتخذ للمرضى يجلسون فيه للتعريق ولا يسمى الحوض أبزن، على أن ما في الصفا ليس حوضا، بل هو موضع منخفض ينزل فيه بالدرج إلى أن يصل النازل إلى مجرى العين، اخترع لهم ذلك ليسهل عليهم أخذ الماء الرجل المسمى بازان.

Our Sheikh, may God have mercy on him, said: The famous view among them is that Bazan is the name of the entire spring in all its outlets, and they do not restrict it only to the outlet at Al-Safa as the author's words might suggest. Rather, the people of Mecca named the gathering of water at Al-Safa and Al-Muzdalifah 'Bazan' because the one who built it was named Bazan, not that they altered and derived it from 'ab zan' as the author claimed, may God have mercy on him. This is because 'ab zan' is a copper vessel for the sick to sit in for sweating, and a basin is not called 'abzan'. Moreover, what is at Al-Safa is not a basin, but rather a low-lying place where one descends by stairs until reaching the spring's course; it was devised for them so that the man named Bazan could easily take water.

قال النجم عمر بن فهد في كتابه المسمى (إتحاف الورى بأخبار أم القرى): وفي سنة ست وعشرين وسبعمائة فيها عمر بازان أمير جربان نائب السلطنة بالعراقين عن السلطان أبي سعيد هذا بعده عين عرفة، وذكر ذلك العلامة القطبي في تاريخه.

Al-Najm Omar bin Fahd said in his book titled (Itḥāf al-Warā bi-Akhbār Umm al-Qurā): In the year seven hundred and twenty-six, Bazan, the Emir of Jirban, deputy of the Sultanate in the two Iraqs for Sultan Abu Sa'id, rebuilt this after Ain Arafa, and the scholar Al-Qutbi mentioned this in his history.

والإبزين، بالكسر: لغة في الإبزيم، ج أبازين.

And al-ibzin (with kasra) is a variant pronunciation of al-ibzim, plural abazin.

قال أبو دواد في صفة الخيل: من كل جرداء قد طارت عقيقتهاوكل أجرد مسترخي الأبازين.

Abu Dawud said in the description of horses: 'Of every lean mare whose mane has flown, and of every lean one with relaxed flanks.'

وسياق المصنف، رحمه الله تعالى، يقتضي أن المحدث هو أبوه هشام وليست له رواية فضلا عن التحديث.

And the author's context, may God have mercy on him, implies that the hadith narrator is his father Hisham, and he had no transmissions, let alone narration.
