حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَعْنَاهُ مُرْسَلٌ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ حُمَيْدٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ يَعْقُوبَ يَقُولُ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَهُوَ مُسْنَدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Sa`id bin Jubair Narrated from:
Narrated Sa'id b. Jubair: This tradition from the Prophet (ﷺ) without mentioning the name of the Companion in the chain (in the mursal form). Abu dawud said: I heard Muhammad b. Humaid say: I heard Ya'qub say: Anything I narrated to you from Ja'far on the authority of Sa'id b. Jubair from the Prophet (ﷺ) is directly coming from Ibn Abbas from the Prophet (ﷺ).

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1302
This narration is mainly about the chain of the previous report, so the core topic is hadith chain and mursal hadith. Sa'id b. Jubair narrated the meaning from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم without naming the Companion in the chain, which is called mursal in the translation. Abu Dawud then records a statement from Ya'qub: anything he narrated from Ja'far, from Sa'id b. Jubair, from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, is actually connected through Ibn Abbas from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. For a reader searching mursal hadith meaning or Sunan Abu Dawud 1302 explanation, this hadith shows how scholars preserved details about transmission, not only the wording of the worship practice itself.
