ليس فيه اضطراب بل هى رواية راجحة ردا على الأحناف
machine translationThere is no inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) in it; rather it is the preponderant report, in reply to the Ḥanafīs.
in مسند أحمد, p. 19081
al-Bukhari
حديث سفيان أصح من حديث شعبة وأخطأ شعبة في مواضع فقال حجر أبي العنبس وإنما هو حجر بن العنبس ويكنى أبا السكن وزاد فيه علقمة وإنما هو حجر عن أبي وائل وقال خفض بها صوته وإنما هو مد بها صوته
machine translationThe hadith of Sufyān is more authentic than the hadith of Shuʿbah. Shuʿbah made mistakes in several places. He said "Ḥujr Abū al-ʿAnbas", but it is only Ḥujr b. al-ʿAnbas, whose kunyah is Abū al-Sakan. He added ʿAlqamah, but it is only Ḥujr from Abū Wāʾil. And he said "he lowered his voice with it", but it is only "he extended his voice with it".
