حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَيُّوبَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا قَالَ بِقَوْلِ الْحَسَنِ فِي أَمْرُکِ بِيَدِکِ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا شَيْئًا حَدَّثَنَاهُ قَتَادَةُ عَنْ کَثِيرٍ مَوْلَی ابْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا کَثِيرٌ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا قَطُّ فَذَکَرْتُهُ لِقَتَادَةَ فَقَالَ بَلَی وَلَکِنَّهُ نَسِيَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2204
Hammad ibn Zayd said: I asked Ayyub: Do you know anyone who narrates the tradition narrated by Al-Hasan about uttering the words (addressing wife). "Your matter is in your hand"? He replied: No, except something similar transmitted by Qatadah from Kathir, the client of Samurah, from Abu Salamah on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. Ayyub said: Kathir then came to us; so I asked him (about this matter). He replied: I never narrated it. I mentioned it to Qatadah who said: Yes (he narrated it) but he forgot.
