حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ
إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِيَمِينِهِ وَإِذَا شَرِبَ فَلْيَشْرَبْ بِيَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ

- أبو زرعة الرازي
رواه عبد الرزاق عن معمر عن الزهري عن سالم عن ابن عمر و هذا خطأ يقولون عن الزهري عن أبي بكر بن عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عمر عن ابن عمر وهذا الصحيح
machine translationʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated it from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from Ibn ʿUmar, but this is a mistake. They say: from al-Zuhrī, from Abū Bakr b. ʿUbaydillāh b. ʿAbdillāh b. ʿUmar, from Ibn ʿUmar, and this is the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) version.
