• Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī

  تعقب سليمان بن حرب بأن قتادة وغيره من الحفاظ رووه عن أنس كذلك فالاختلاف فيه على أنس نفسه قال فلعله سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يعلم غيره كيف يهل بالقران فظن أنه أهل عن نفسه

  machine translationSulaymān b. Ḥarb objected that Qatādah and other memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) narrated it from Anas in the same way, so the disagreement concerns Anas himself. He said: Perhaps he heard the Prophet ﷺ teaching someone else how to declare the intention for Qirān (combining ḥajj and ʿumrah), and so he thought that he was declaring it for himself.
