أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي وَحْشِيَّةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
أَفْضَلُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ وَأَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ الْمُحَرَّمُ

- Aḥmad ibn Shuʿayb al-Nasāʾī
أرسله شعبة بن الحجاج
in سنن النسائي, p. 1615 - Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
أخطأ فيه عبيد الله الصواب ما رواه زائدة وغيره عن عبد الملك بن عمير عن محمد بن المنتشر عن حميد بن عبد الرحمن منهم من يقول عن أبي هريرة ومنهم من يرسله يقول حميد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والصحيح متصل حميد عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationʿUbayd Allāh erred in it. The correct version is what Zāʾidah and others narrated from ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr, from Muḥammad b. al-Muntashir, from Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. Some of them say "from Abū Hurayrah", and some of them transmit it as a mursal report, saying: Ḥumayd, from the Prophet ﷺ. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version is the connected one: Ḥumayd, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
