حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجُلاَسِ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ سَيَّارٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ شَمَّاخٍ قَالَ
شَهِدْتُ مَرْوَانَ سَأَلَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ قَالَ أَمَعَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَلاَمٌ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا وَأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهَا وَأَنْتَ هَدَيْتَهَا لِلإِسْلاَمِ وَأَنْتَ قَبَضْتَ رُوحَهَا وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِسِرِّهَا وَعَلاَنِيَتِهَا جِئْنَاكَ شُفَعَاءَ فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ

I was present with Marwan who asked AbuHurayrah: Did you hear how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray over the dead? He said: Even with the words that you said. (The narrator said: They exchanged hot words between them before that.) Abu Hurairah said: O Allah, Thou art its Lord. Thou didst create it, Thou didst guide it to Islam, Thou hast taken its spirit, and Thou knowest best its inner nature and outer aspect. We have come as intercessors, so forgive him. Abu Dawud said: Shu'bah made a mistake in mentioning the name of 'Ali b. Shammakh. He said in his version: 'Uthman b. Shammas. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad b. Ibrahim al-Mawsili say that Ahmad b. Hanbal said: In every meeting which I attended with Hammad b. Zaid he forbade to narrate this traditions from 'Abd al-Warith and Ja'far b. Sulaiman.

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَخْطَأَ شُعْبَةُ فِي اسْمِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَمَّاخٍ قَالَ فِيهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ شَمَّاسٍ وَسَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَوْصِلِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي جَلَسْتُ مِنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ مَجْلِسًا إِلاَّ نَهَى فِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ وَجَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ

يرويه الجلاس السلمي ويقال أبو الجلاس واختلف عنه فأما شعبة فرواه عنه فقال عن الجلاس عن عثمان بن شماس عن أبي هريرة أن مروان مر به فسأله عن الصلاة على الجنازة ويقال إن شعبة رحمه الله وهم إلا سفيان جميعا وقاله عبد الوارث فرواه عن أبي الجلاس واسمه عقبة بن سيار وقال علي بن شماخ عن أبي هريرة وقول عبد الوارث أصح ورواه زياد بن مخراق كذلك عن عقبة بن سيار وهو أبو الجلاس عن رجل عن علي بن شماخ أن مروان بن الحكم قال لأبي هريرة ورواه أبو هاشم الرماني فرواه إسماعيل بن مسلم عنه واختلف عنه فرواه المحاربي عن إسماعيل بن مسلم عن أبي هاشم الرماني عن رجل من أصحاب ابن حيوة عن عبد الملك بن مروان عن أبي هريرة وخالفه ابن فضيل عن إسماعيل بن مسلم عن أبي هاشم عن يحيى بن عباد عن أبي هريرة والصحيح من ذلك ما قاله عبد الوارث لأنه ضبط اسمه وكنيته ووصل إسناده
machine translationAl-Jallās al-Sulamī, who is also called Abū al-Jallās, narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. As for Shuʿbah, he narrated it from him and said: from al-Jallās, from ʿUthmān b. Shammās, from Abū Hurayrah, that Marwān passed by him and asked him about the prayer over the funeral. It is said that Shuʿbah, may God have mercy on him, was mistaken, [unlike] Sufyān and all the others. ʿAbd al-Wārith said it differently: he narrated it from Abū al-Jallās, whose name is ʿUqbah b. Sayyār, and he said: ʿAlī b. Shammākh, from Abū Hurayrah. The statement of ʿAbd al-Wārith is more sound. Ziyād b. Mikhrāq also narrated it likewise from ʿUqbah b. Sayyār, who is Abū al-Jallās, from a man, from ʿAlī b. Shammākh, that Marwān b. al-Ḥakam said to Abū Hurayrah. Abū Hāshim al-Rummānī also narrated it, and Ismāʿīl b. Muslim narrated it from him, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Muḥāribī narrated it from Ismāʿīl b. Muslim, from Abū Hāshim al-Rummānī, from a man from the companions of Ibn Ḥaywah, from ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān, from Abū Hurayrah. Ibn Fuḍayl contradicted him, from Ismāʿīl b. Muslim, from Abū Hāshim, from Yaḥyā b. ʿAbbād, from Abū Hurayrah. The correct one among these is what ʿAbd al-Wārith said, because he precisely preserved his name and his kunyah and connected his chain.
