Sunan Abu Dawood 3291

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.

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.
