حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْيَشْکُرِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ سَلَّامَ بْنَ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا الْجُعْفِيَّ يَقُولُا عِنْدِي خَمْسُونَ أَلْفَ حَدِيثٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 57
Hajjāj bin ash-Shā’ir narrated to me, Ahmad bin Yūnus narrated to us, he said, I heard Zuhayr saying, Jābir said, or, I heard Jābir saying: ‘Indeed I have fifty thousand Ḥadīth that I have not narrated from at all’. [Zuhayr] said: ‘Then that day he related a Ḥadīth and said, ‘This is from the fifty thousand’.
