قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرِ بْنِ بَرِّيٍّ، ثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
إِذَا خَرَجَ ثَلَاثَةٌ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلْيُؤَمِّرُوا أَحَدَهُمْ

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
روي عن حاتم هذا الحديث بإسنادين فقال بعضهم عن حاتم عن ابن عجلان عن نافع عن أبي سلمة عن أبي سعيد وقال بعضهم عن أبي هريرة والصحيح عندنا والله أعلم عن أبي سلمة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مرسل قال أبي ورواه يحيى بن أيوب عن ابن عجلان عن نافع عن أبي سلمة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهذا الصحيح ومما يقوي قولنا أن معاوية بن صالح وثور بن يزيد وفرج بن فضالة حدثوا عن المهاصر بن حبيب عن أبي سلمة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم هذا الكلام قال أبو زرعة وروى أصحاب ابن عجلان هذا الحديث عن أبي سلمة مرسلا قلت من قال الليث أو غيره
machine translationThis hadith was narrated from Ḥātim with two chains of transmission. Some said: from Ḥātim, from Ibn ʿAjlān, from Nāfiʿ, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Saʿīd; and some said: from Abū Hurayrah. The correct position with us, and Allah knows best, is from Abū Salamah that the Prophet ﷺ [said it], as a mursal report. My father said: Yaḥyā b. Ayyūb narrated it from Ibn ʿAjlān, from Nāfiʿ, from Abū Salamah that the Prophet ﷺ [said it], and this is the correct one. Among the things that strengthen our view is that Muʿāwiyah b. Ṣāliḥ, Thawr b. Yazīd and Faraj b. Fuḍālah narrated from al-Muhājir b. Ḥabīb, from Abū Salamah, from the Prophet ﷺ, this statement. Abū Zurʿah said: The students of Ibn ʿAjlān narrated this hadith from Abū Salamah as a mursal report. I said: Who said that, al-Layth or someone else?
