لزياد أبي عمار غير ما ذكرت من الحديث عن أنس ولا أعرف له عن غير أنس وأحاديثه مقدار ما يرويه لا يتابعه أحد عليها
machine translationZiyād Abū ʿAmmār has other ḥadīths from Anas besides what I mentioned, and I do not know of any from him from anyone other than Anas. His ḥadīths are of limited quantity in what he narrates, and no one corroborates him on them.
