حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا کَانَ يَسُبُّ أَبَا بَکْرٍ وَسَاقَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَکَذَلِکَ رَوَاهُ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَی عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ کَمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4897
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators. This version has: A man was reviling Abu Bakr. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition in a similar manner. Abu Dawud said: Similarly, it has been transmitted by Safwan bin ‘Isa, from Ibn Affan, as Sufyan said.
