  وقد تابع عمرا على مثل هذه الرواية عن الزهري غيره فاجتزينا بعمرو عن الزهري إذ كان ثقة وقد روى هذا الحديث عكرمة بن خالد ومحمد بن المنكدر عن مالك بن أوس عن عمر ولم يذكراه عن أبي بكر ومالك بن أوس حافظ وقد زاد على من سمينا وزيادة الحافظ مقبولة إذا زادها على حافظ فإنما زادها بفضل حفظه وقد رواه عن أبي بكر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جماعة منهم عائشة وأبو هريرة وغيرهما

  machine translationOthers besides ʿAmr have corroborated a similar narration from al-Zuhrī, so we were content with ʿAmr from al-Zuhrī, since he was trustworthy (thiqah). ʿIkrimah b. Khālid and Muḥammad b. al-Munkadir also narrated this hadith from Mālik b. Aws from ʿUmar, and they did not mention it from Abū Bakr. Mālik b. Aws is a memorizer (ḥāfiẓ), and he added to what those we named reported, and the addition of a memorizer is accepted when he adds it over another memorizer, for he added it only by virtue of his memory. A group also narrated it from Abū Bakr from the Prophet ﷺ, among them ʿĀʾishah, Abū Hurayrah and others. Report a problem
