فَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ فِرَاسٍ الْفَقِيهُ بِمَكَّةَ حَرَسَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الدِّمْيَاطِيُّ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْأَسْقَعِ
حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ فِيهِ وَهْمٌ وَلَا مَزِيدٌ وَلَا نِسْيَانٌ فَقَالَ «هَلْ قَرَأَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا؟» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِالْحَافِظِينَ قَالَ «فَهَذَا الْقُرْآنُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ لَا تَأْلُونَ حِفْظَهُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ تَزِيدُونَ وَتَنْقُصُونَ فَكَيْفَ بِأَحَادِيثَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَسَى أَنْ لَا نَكُونَ سَمِعْنَاهَا إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَسْبُكُمْ إِذَا جِئْنَاكُمْ بِالْحَدِيثِ عَلَى مَعْنَاهُ» وَقَدْ قِيلَ كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو قِرْصَافَةَ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

✧ Narrate to us a hadith you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which there is no error, no addition, and no forgetfulness. He said: "Did any of you recite anything from the Qur'an tonight?" We said: "Yes, but we are not memorizers of it." He said: "This Qur'an is written among you; you do not fail to memorize it, yet you claim that you add and subtract. So how about hadiths we heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, which perhaps we heard only once? It is enough for you if we bring you the hadith according to its meaning." It has also been said that his kunya was Abu Qirsafa. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the Talkhis.
