حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ
مَنْ حَدَّثَ عَنِّي حَدِيثًا وَهُوَ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذِبٌ فَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْكَاذِبَيْنِ

يرويه الحكم واختلف عنه فرواه الأعمش عن الحكم عن ابن أبي ليلى عن علي وتابعه محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى عن الحكم وتابعهما عبيد الله بن موسى عن شعبة عن الحكم وأسنده عن علي وغيرهما يرويه عن الحكم عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى عن سمرة بن جندب عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationAl-Ḥakam narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Aʿmash narrated it from al-Ḥakam, from Ibn Abī Laylā, from ʿAlī, and Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā followed him in narrating it from al-Ḥakam. ʿUbaydullāh b. Mūsā followed them both, from Shuʿbah, from al-Ḥakam, and he traced it back to ʿAlī. Others narrate it from al-Ḥakam, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā, from Samurah b. Jundab, from the Prophet ﷺ.

وهذا الحديث قد رواه محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى عن الحكم عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى عن علي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وشعبة أحفظ من محمد بن عبد الرحمن ولا نعلم روى عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى عن سمرة إلا هذا الحديث
machine translationThis hadith was narrated by Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā, from al-Ḥakam, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā, from ʿAlī, from the Prophet ﷺ. Shuʿbah is a better memorizer than Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, and we do not know that ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā narrated from Samurah anything other than this hadith.

هذا خطأ والصحيح ما حدثنا أبو نعيم وأبو عمر الحوضي عن شعبة عن الحكم عن ابن أبي ليلى عن سمرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationThis is a mistake, and the correct version is what Abū Nuʿaym and Abū ʿUmar al-Ḥawḍī narrated to us, from Shuʿbah, from al-Ḥakam, from Ibn Abī Laylā, from Samurah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
