• Dāraquṭnī

  يرويه شهر بن حوشب عنه حدث به عنه قتادة وبديل بن ميسرة وعبد الحميد بن بهرام عن شهر وكذلك رواه داود بن أبي هند واختلف عنه فرواه ابن فضيل وخالد وحفص بن غياث عن داود عن شهر بمتابعة قتادة خالفهم عبد الأعلى فرواه عن ابن داود عن شهر عن أبي مالك ولم يذكر والقول الأول هو الأصح

  machine translationShahr b. Ḥawshab narrates it from him. Qatādah, Budayl b. Maysarah and ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Bahrām narrated it from him, from Shahr. Dāwūd b. Abī Hind likewise narrated it, but there is disagreement about him. Ibn Fuḍayl, Khālid and Ḥafṣ b. Ghiyāth narrated it from Dāwūd, from Shahr, in agreement with Qatādah. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā differed from them: he narrated it from Ibn Dāwūd, from Shahr, from Abū Mālik, and did not mention [unclear]. The first account is the more correct (aṣaḥḥ). Report a problem
