أم الدرداء هذه لم تسمع من النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يروي جماعة عن أم الدرداء هذا الحديث عن أبي الدرداء عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم منهم عطاء الكيخاراني عن أم الدرداء عن أبي الدرداء ورواه أيضا عنها معلى بن هلال فقال عن أم الدرداء عن أبي الدرداء وهو الصحيح
machine translationThis Umm al-Dardāʾ did not hear from the Prophet ﷺ. A group narrate this hadith from Umm al-Dardāʾ, from Abū al-Dardāʾ, from the Prophet ﷺ; among them is ʿAṭāʾ al-Kaykhārānī, from Umm al-Dardāʾ, from Abū al-Dardāʾ. Muʿallā b. Hilāl also narrated it from her, saying: from Umm al-Dardāʾ, from Abū al-Dardāʾ, and this is the sound one.

وأصحها حديث ابن عيينة عن عمرو بن دينار وحديث شعبة عن القاسم بن أبي بزة
machine translationThe soundest of them is the hadith of Ibn ʿUyaynah from ʿAmr b. Dīnār, and the hadith of Shuʿbah from al-Qāsim b. Abī Bazzah.
