  يرويه أبو إسحاق الشيباني وعبد الله بن حبيب بن أبي ثابت واختلف عنهما فرواه أبو إسحاق الشيباني عن حبيب بن أبي ثابت عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ووقفه عبد الله بن حبيب بن أبي ثابت ولم يرفعه ولم يسمع حبيب هذا الحديث من ابن عمر وإنما رواه عن طاوس عنه كذلك رواه منصور بن المعتمر ومسعر بن كدام وسفيان الثوري وفطر بن خليفة وحمزة الزيات رووه عن حبيب عن طاوس عن ابن عمر وهو صحيح عن حبيب عن طاوس وكذلك رواه سليمان التيمي عن طاوس عن ابن عمر وهو صحيح عنه أيضا

  machine translationAbū Isḥāq al-Shaybānī and ʿAbdullāh b. Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit narrate it, and there is disagreement about them. Abū Isḥāq al-Shaybānī narrated it from Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, while ʿAbdullāh b. Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit made it a statement of the Companion (mawqūf) and did not raise it to the Prophet. Ḥabīb did not hear this hadith from Ibn ʿUmar; rather he narrated it from Ṭāwūs, from him. Likewise it was narrated by Manṣūr b. al-Muʿtamir, Misʿar b. Kidām, Sufyān al-Thawrī, Fiṭr b. Khalīfah and Ḥamzah al-Zayyāt: they narrated it from Ḥabīb, from Ṭāwūs, from Ibn ʿUmar, and it is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) from Ḥabīb, from Ṭāwūs. Likewise Sulaymān al-Taymī narrated it from Ṭāwūs, from Ibn ʿUmar, and it is also sound from him. Report a problem
