  يرويه أبو الزناد واختلف عنه فرواه مالك بن أنس وموسى بن عقبة وعبد الرحمن بن إسحاق وهو عباد وأبو أيوب الأفريقي عن أبي الزناد عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة وخالفهم ابن عيينة فرواه عن أبي الزناد عن موسى بن أبي عثمان عن أبيه عن أبي هريرة ويشبه أن يكون القولان محفوظين عن أبي الزناد وزعم الواقدي أن مالكا وهم في إسناد هذا الحديث فرواه عن أبي الزناد عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة وقد تابعه جماعة ثقات منهم موسى بن عقبة ومن ذكرنا معه

  machine translationAbū al-Zinād narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Mālik b. Anas, Mūsā b. ʿUqbah, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Isḥāq (who is ʿAbbād), and Abū Ayyūb al-Afrīqī narrated it from Abū al-Zinād, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah. Ibn ʿUyaynah differed from them and narrated it from Abū al-Zinād, from Mūsā b. Abī ʿUthmān, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah. It seems that both versions are preserved from Abū al-Zinād. Al-Wāqidī claimed that Mālik erred in the chain of this hadith, as he narrated it from Abū al-Zinād, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah. But a group of trustworthy (thiqāt) narrators followed him, among them Mūsā b. ʿUqbah and those we mentioned with him. Report a problem
