يرويه حماد بن زيد واختلف عنه حدث به محمد بن عبد الرحيم الشماخي كان بالشام ولم يكن مرضيا عن سليمان بن حرب عن حماد بن زيد عن أبان بن تغلب عن شهر عن أسماء بنت يزيد والمحفوظ عن حماد بن زيد عن سنان بن ربيعة عن شهر عن أبي أمامة
machine translationḤammād b. Zayd narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥīm al-Shammākhī, who was in Syria and was not approved of, narrated it from Sulaymān b. Ḥarb, from Ḥammād b. Zayd, from Abān b. Taghlib, from Shahr, from Asmāʾ bint Yazīd. But the preserved (maḥfūẓ) version is from Ḥammād b. Zayd, from Sinān b. Rabīʿah, from Shahr, from Abū Umāmah.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 134 - Dāraquṭnī
رفعه وهم وشهر بن حوشب ليس بالقوي وقد وقفه سليمان بن حرب وهو ثقة
machine translationRaising it to the Prophet is an error (wahm). Shahr b. Ḥawshab is not strong, and Sulaymān b. Ḥarb, who is trustworthy (thiqah), reported it as a statement of the Companion (mawqūf).

ما منها حديث يعني الأذنان من الرأس إلا وله علة
machine translationThere is no hadith among them, meaning "the two ears are part of the head", except that it has a defect.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 134 - سليمان بن حريث
إنما هو من قول أبي أمامة فمن قال غير هذا فقد بدل
machine translationIt is only from the words of Abū Umāmah; whoever says otherwise has altered it.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 134 - Dāraquṭnī
يرويه حماد بن زيد عن سنان بن ربيعة عن شهر وخالفه حماد بن سلمة وروى بعض الكلام عن سنان بن ربيعة عن أنس وقال سليمان بن حرب في هذا الحديث عن حماد بن زيد إن قوله والأذنان من الرأس هو من قول أبي أمامة غير مرفوع وهو الصواب
machine translationḤammād b. Zayd narrates it from Sinān b. Rabīʿah, from Shahr, and Ḥammād b. Salamah differed from him, and narrated some of the wording from Sinān b. Rabīʿah, from Anas. Sulaymān b. Ḥarb said regarding this hadith, from Ḥammād b. Zayd, that the saying "the two ears are part of the head" is from the words of Abū Umāmah, not raised to the Prophet (marfūʿ), and that is correct.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 134 - Dāraquṭnī
هذا مرسل وروي عنه متصلا عن أبي أمامة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا يصح وأبو بكر بن أبي مريم ضعيف
machine translationThis is mursal, and it was narrated from him in a connected form from Abū Umāmah, from the Prophet ﷺ, but that is not authentic. Abū Bakr b. Abī Maryam is weak (ḍaʿīf).
in سنن أبي داود, p. 134 - Shuayb al-Arnaut
إسناده ضعيف وقد اختلف على حماد في رفع قوله: "الأذنان من الرأس" ووقفه.
