  وهذا الحديث لا نعلم يروى عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا برواية عمران بن حصين وعبد الله بن عمرو واختلف في إسناده عن قتادة فقال أبو هلال عن قتادة عن أبي حسان عن عمران بن حصين وقال معاذ بن هشام عن أبيه عن قتادة عن أبي حسان عن عبد الله بن عمرو عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهشام أحفظ من أبي هلال

  machine translationWe do not know this hadith to be narrated from the Prophet ﷺ except through the narration of ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn and ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. There is disagreement about its chain of transmission from Qatādah. Abū Hilāl said, from Qatādah, from Abū Ḥassān, from ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn. And Muʿādh b. Hishām said, from his father, from Qatādah, from Abū Ḥassān, from ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr, from the Prophet ﷺ. And Hishām is a better memoriser (aḥfaẓ) than Abū Hilāl. Report a problem

  يروي هذا الحديث أبو هلال عن قتادة عن أبي حسان عن عمران بن حصين عن النبي وحديث عبد الله بن عمرو أشبه لأنه قد تابعه هشام الدستوائي وعمرو بن الحارث

  machine translationAbū Hilāl narrates this hadith from Qatādah, from Abū Ḥassān, from ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn, from the Prophet. The hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr is more likely (ashbah) correct, because Hishām al-Dastuwāʾī and ʿAmr b. al-Ḥārith corroborated him. Report a problem
