حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَاتُهُمْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ، وَأَيْمَانُهُمْ شَهَادَاتِهِمْ.

  • Dāraquṭnī

    سئل عن حديث علقمة عن عبد الله عن النبي فقال قيل ذلك عن مصعب بن ماهان عن سفيان عن منصور وعن ابن أبي عدي عن شعبة عن منصور عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله ولا يصح والصواب عن إبراهيم عن عبيدة عن عبد الله

    machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: It was said thus from Muṣʿab b. Māhān, from Sufyān, from Manṣūr, and from Ibn Abī ʿAdī, from Shuʿbah, from Manṣūr, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. But it is not sound (ṣaḥīḥ); the correct version is from Ibrāhīm, from ʿUbaydah, from ʿAbdullāh.
