حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ: وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ - أَوْ قَالَ: نَبِيُّكُمْ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: - يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ، وَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ دُونَ أَلْوَانِ التَّمْرِ وَالزُّبْدِ. !

كذا قال شعبة وأما غيره من أصحاب سماك فليس يتابعه أحد منهم إنما يقولون سماك عن النعمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يقولون عمر قلت لأبي أيهما أصح قال شعبة أحفظ قلت لم يتابعه أحد قال وإن لم يتابعه أحد فإن شعبة أحفظهم
machine translationSo said Shuʿbah. As for the others among the students of Simāk, none of them follows him; they only say: Simāk, from al-Nuʿmān, from the Prophet ﷺ, and they do not say ʿUmar. I said to my father: Which of them is more correct? He said: Shuʿbah is the better memoriser. I said: But no one followed him. He said: Even if no one followed him, Shuʿbah is the best memoriser among them.
