أخطأ فيه عبيد الله الصواب ما رواه زائدة وغيره عن عبد الملك بن عمير عن محمد بن المنتشر عن حميد بن عبد الرحمن منهم من يقول عن أبي هريرة ومنهم من يرسله يقول حميد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والصحيح متصل حميد عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationʿUbayd Allāh erred in it. The correct version is what Zāʾidah and others narrated from ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr, from Muḥammad b. al-Muntashir, from Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. Some of them say "from Abū Hurayrah", and some of them transmit it as a mursal report, saying: Ḥumayd, from the Prophet ﷺ. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version is the connected one: Ḥumayd, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
