حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَتَكِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ خِلاَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ تَدَارَءَا فِي بَيْعٍ لَيْسَ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَأَمَرَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَسْتَهِمَا عَلَى الْيَمِينِ أَحَبَّا ذَلِكَ أَمْ كَرِهَا

يرويه سعيد بن أبي عروبة عن قتادة واختلف عنه فروي عن محمد بن عبد الله الرزي عن خالد بن الحارث عن شعبة عن قتادة عن خلاس عن أبي رافع عن أبي هريرة وخالفهما علي بن المديني فرواه عن خالد بن الحارث عن سعيد عنقتادة وهو الصواب ورواه إسماعيل بن سعيد الكسائي عن روح عن شعبة عن قتادة عن خلاس عن أبي هريرة ولم أر فيه أبا رافع وهو وهم في موضعين في تركه أبا رافع وفي قوله شعبة وإنما رواه روح عن سعيد وكذلك رواه يزيد بن زريع وعمرو بن محمد بن أبي رزين وإسحاق الأزرق وعباد بن وهيب عن سعيد وهو الصحيح وروي عن مكي بن إبراهيم عن سعيد بن أبي عروبة عن خلاس بن عمرو عن أبي هريرة ولم يذكر أبا رافع لعله سقط على بعض من رواه عنه لأن مكي من الحفاظ
machine translationSaʿīd b. Abī ʿArūbah narrates it from Qatādah, and there is disagreement about it from him. It was narrated from Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh al-Razī, from Khālid b. al-Ḥārith, from Shuʿbah, from Qatādah, from Khallās, from Abū Rāfiʿ, from Abū Hurayrah. ʿAlī b. al-Madīnī differed from them both and narrated it from Khālid b. al-Ḥārith, from Saʿīd, from Qatādah, and this is the correct (ṣawāb) version. Ismāʿīl b. Saʿīd al-Kisāʾī narrated it from Rawḥ, from Shuʿbah, from Qatādah, from Khallās, from Abū Hurayrah, and I did not see Abū Rāfiʿ in it. That is an error (wahm) in two places: in omitting Abū Rāfiʿ and in saying Shuʿbah, for Rawḥ only narrated it from Saʿīd. Likewise Yazīd b. Zurayʿ, ʿAmr b. Muḥammad b. Abī Razīn, Isḥāq al-Azraq and ʿAbbād b. Wahīb narrated it from Saʿīd, and that is the sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version. It was also narrated from Makkī b. Ibrāhīm, from Saʿīd b. Abī ʿArūbah, from Khallās b. ʿAmr, from Abū Hurayrah, without mentioning Abū Rāfiʿ. Perhaps it dropped out for some of those who narrated it from him, because Makkī was one of the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ).
