حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لأَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ سَأَبْعَثُ مَعَكُمْ رَجُلاً أَمِينًا حَقَّ أَمِينٍ قَالَ فَتَشَوَّفَ لَهَا النَّاسُ فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ

يرويه إسرائيل عن أبي إسحاق عن صلة عن ابن مسعود وتابعه الثوري ورواه شعبة عن أبي إسحاق عن صلة عن حذيفة ويشبه أن يكون الصحيح حديث ابن مسعود
machine translationIsrāʾīl narrates it from Abū Isḥāq, from Ṣilah, from Ibn Masʿūd, and al-Thawrī corroborated him. Shuʿbah narrated it from Abū Isḥāq, from Ṣilah, from Ḥudhayfah. It seems that the sound (ṣaḥīḥ) report is the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd.
