قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، ثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ:
كَانَ أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا دَامَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ

يرويه أبو إسحاق السبيعي واختلف عنه فرواه الثوري وزياد بن حبيب وأبو الأحوص وعمرو بن أبي قيس وإبراهيم بن طهمان وأبو بكر بن عياش وورقاء عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي سلمة عن أم سلمة وخالفهم المغيرة بن مسلم رواه عن أبي إسحاق عن الشعبي عن أم سلمة وهو وهم منه وقال يونس بن أبي إسحاق عن أبي إسحاق عن الأسود عن عائشة وليس ذلك بمحفوظ
machine translationAbū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Thawrī, Ziyād b. Ḥabīb, Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, ʿAmr b. Abī Qays, Ibrāhīm b. Ṭahmān, Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh and Warqāʾ narrated it from Abū Isḥāq, from Abū Salamah, from Umm Salamah. Al-Mughīrah b. Muslim contradicted them: he narrated it from Abū Isḥāq, from al-Shaʿbī, from Umm Salamah, and that is an error on his part. Yūnus b. Abī Isḥāq said, from Abū Isḥāq, from al-Aswad, from ʿĀʾishah, and that is not preserved (maḥfūẓ).
