حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ
أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئِتُمْ؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلأُ بَطْنَهُ

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
كذا قال شعبة وأما غيره من أصحاب سماك فليس يتابعه أحد منهم إنما يقولون سماك عن النعمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يقولون عمر قلت لأبي أيهما أصح قال شعبة أحفظ قلت لم يتابعه أحد قال وإن لم يتابعه أحد فإن شعبة أحفظهم
machine translationSo said Shuʿbah. As for the others among the students of Simāk, none of them follows him; they only say: Simāk, from al-Nuʿmān, from the Prophet ﷺ, and they do not say ʿUmar. I said to my father: Which of them is more correct? He said: Shuʿbah is the better memoriser. I said: But no one followed him. He said: Even if no one followed him, Shuʿbah is the best memoriser among them.
