قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْهُذَيْلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحِمَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
تَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ بُرْهَةً بِكِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ تَعْمَلُ بُرْهَةً بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ تَعْمَلُ بِالرَّأْيِ، فَإِذَا عَمِلُوا بِالرَّأْيِ فَقَدْ ضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا

وسائر الأحاديث عن الزهري التي أمليتها ومنها هذا لا يرويها عن الزهري غير عثمان هذا ولعثمان غير ما ذكرت من الحديث وعامة أحاديثه مناكير إما إسناده أو متنه منكرا
machine translationAs for the rest of the hadiths from al-Zuhrī that I have dictated, including this one, no one narrates them from al-Zuhrī except this ʿUthmān. ʿUthmān has other hadiths besides those I mentioned, and most of his hadiths are objectionable (munkar), either in their chain of transmission or in their text.
