حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ،عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَإِسْنَادِهِ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: سَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ شَبُّويَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، يَعْنِي فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: حَدَّثَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، فَدَلَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنَّ الزُّهْرِيَّ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ: وَتَصْدِيقُ ذَلِك مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: سَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ، يَقُولُ: أَفْسَدُوا عَلَيْنَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، قِيلَ لَهُ: وَصَحَّ إِفْسَادُهُ عِنْدَكَ، وَهَلْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ ابْنِ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: كَانَ أَمْثَلَ مِنْهُ يَعْنِي أَيُّوبَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ أَيُّوبُ.
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3291
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by al-Zuhri through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Shabbuyah say: Ibn al-Mubarak said about this tradition that Abu Salamah had transmitted it. This indicates that al-Zuhri did not hear it from Abu Salamah. Ahmad bin Muhammad said: This is verified by what Ayyub bin Sulaiman narrated to us. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: I have corrupted this tradition for us. He was asked: Do you think that it is correct that this tradition has been corrupted? Has any person other than Ibn Abi Uwais transmitted it ? He replied: Ayyub was similar to him in respect of reliability, and Ayyub transmitted it.
