حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ
أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ لَقِيَهُ عُثْمَانُ بِعَرَفَاتٍ، فَخَلَا بِهِ فَحَدَّثَهُ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ: هَلْ لَكَ فِي فَتَاةٍ أُزَوِّجُكَهَا؟ فَدَعَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، عَلْقَمَةَ فَحَدَّثَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ. وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَلْيَصُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ الصَّوْمَ وِجَاؤُهُ ( أَوْ وِجَاءَةٌ لَهُ ).

- Yaḥyá b. Maʿīn
سئل يحيى بن معين عن حديث أبي معشر فقال خطأ خالفه الأعمش
machine translationYaḥyā b. Maʿīn was asked about the hadith of Abū Maʿshar, and he said: "A mistake; al-Aʿmash contradicted him."
in مسند أحمد, p. 4337 - Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
هذا الحديث بعبد الله بن مسعود عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أشبه يعني على ما رواه الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
in مسند أحمد, p. 4337 - Dāraquṭnī
وسئل عن حديث علقمة عن عبد الله عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج الحديث فقال يرويه الأعمش والمغيرة ومنصور وحماد وأبو حمزة عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله وخالفهم أبو معشر فرواه عن إبراهيم عن علقمة وأسنده عن عثمان بن عفان وقول الأعمش ومن تابعه أصح
machine translationHe was also asked about the hadith of ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ: "Whoever among you is able to marry, let him marry" (the hadith). He said: It is narrated by al-Aʿmash, al-Mughīrah, Manṣūr, Ḥammād and Abū Ḥamzah, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. Abū Maʿshar contradicted them: he narrated it from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, and traced it back to ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān. The statement of al-Aʿmash and those who followed him is more correct (aṣaḥḥ).
