ʿAlī ibn Rabīʿah narrates the setting; al-Mughīrah is the Companion who reports directly from the Prophet. The visit to the mosque and the Kufan governorship belong to the narrator’s setting, whereas the Prophetic quotation begins after “I heard the Messenger of Allah.” This separation prevents the setting from being mistaken for part of the marfūʿ wording.
