Abu Masud asked Abu Abu Allah, or Abu Abdullah asked Abu Masud; what did you hear the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say about za’ama (they alleged, asserted, or it is said). He replied: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: it is a bad riding-beast for a man (to say) za’ama (they asserted). Abu DAwud said: This Abu Abdullah is Hudhaifah.
