( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، ثَنَا أَبِي، ثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، ثَنَا جَامِعُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ: أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ فِيهِ:
قَالُوا: جِئْنَاكَ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، قَالَ: كَانَ اللهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ غَيْرُهُ، وَعَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ، وَكَتَبَ فِي الذِّكْرِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَخَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ

- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
ومن الأحاديث الصحيحة حديث عمران بن حصين كان الله ولم يكن شيء غيره
machine translationAmong the authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadiths is the hadith of ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn: "Allah was, and there was nothing other than Him."
in سنن البيهقي الكبرى, p. 17775 - Taḥāwī
فاختلف الأعمش في الذي رجع إليه هذا الحديث من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر الأعمش أنه عمران بن الحصين وذكر المسعودي أنه بريدة بن الحصيب وكان الصحيح عندنا ما قاله الأعمش فيه ودل على ذلك أن الثوري قد رواه عن جامع بن شداد فوافق الأعمش فيه وخالف المسعودي وإن كان قد قصر عن بعض متنه مما في روايتهما
machine translationAl-Aʿmash differed regarding which of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ this hadith goes back to. Al-Aʿmash mentioned that it was ʿImrān b. al-Ḥuṣayn, while al-Masʿūdī mentioned that it was Buraydah b. al-Ḥuṣayb. The correct view in our opinion is what al-Aʿmash said about it. What indicates this is that al-Thawrī narrated it from Jāmiʿ b. Shaddād, agreeing with al-Aʿmash and opposing al-Masʿūdī, even though he fell short of some of its text that is in their two narrations.
