  وسئل عن حديث أبي عثمان النهدي عن سعيد بن زيد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ما تركت بعدي فتنة أضر على الرجال من النساء فقال هو حديث يرويه معتمر بن سليمان عن أبيه عن أبي عثمان عن أسامة بن زيد وسعيد بن زيد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وخالفه أصحاب التيمي منهم سفيان الثوري وشعبة ويزيد بن زريع وغيرهم فأسندوه عن أسامة بن زيد وحده عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو أحبها إلي وأخرج مسلم في الصحيح القولين جميعا

  machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī, from Saʿīd b. Zayd, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "I have not left behind me any trial more harmful to men than women." He said: It is a hadith that Muʿtamir b. Sulaymān narrates from his father, from Abū ʿUthmān, from Usāmah b. Zayd and Saʿīd b. Zayd, from the Prophet ﷺ. But the companions of al-Taymī contradicted him, among them Sufyān al-Thawrī, Shuʿbah, Yazīd b. Zurayʿ and others, for they transmitted it as connected from Usāmah b. Zayd alone, from the Prophet ﷺ, and that is the one I prefer. Muslim included both versions in his Ṣaḥīḥ. Report a problem
