• ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm al-Mudhirī

  سعيد بن المسيب لم يصح سماعه من عمر فإن كان سمع ذلك من حسان بن ثابت فيتصل

  in سنن أبي داود, p. 4997
• Dāraquṭnī

  يرويه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه عبد الأعلى عن معمر عن الزهري عن عروة عن حسان بن ثابت وأبي هريرة ورواه شعيب بن أبي حمزة وصالح بن أبي الأخضر عن الزهري عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة وحسان بن ثابت ورواه ابن عيينة عن الزهري وحسان ورواه إسماعيل بن أمية عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب وحده عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وفي آخره قال ابن شهاب وقال حسان لأبي هريرة أسمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول اللهم أيده بروح القدس قال نعم فصار الزهري عن أبي هريرة مرسل وحديث عبد الأعلى بن عبد الأعلى عن معمر خطأ وهو محفوظ عن الزهري عن سعيد وعن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة

  machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated it from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUrwah, from Ḥassān b. Thābit and Abū Hurayrah. Shuʿayb b. Abī Ḥamzah and Ṣāliḥ b. Abī al-Akhḍar narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah and Ḥassān b. Thābit. Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated it from al-Zuhrī and Ḥassān. Ismāʿīl b. Umayyah narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab alone, from the Prophet ﷺ, and at its end he said: Ibn Shihāb said: Ḥassān said to Abū Hurayrah, "Did you hear the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'O God, support him with the Holy Spirit'?" He said: "Yes." Thus al-Zuhrī's report from Abū Hurayrah is mursal. The report of ʿAbd al-Aʿlā b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā from Maʿmar is an error (khaṭaʾ); what is preserved (maḥfūẓ) is from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd, and from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah. Report a problem
