Salih al-Hafiz Jazarah states that Fadlak al-Razi said to me: "When you go to Nishapur, you will be received by an elder whose face is handsome, whose clothing is fine, whose riding is splendid and whose speech is excellent; then know that he is Muhammad bin Yahya al-Dhuhli. And the first thing you ask him about should be the hadith narrated by Shu'bah from Yahya bin Sabih," and he mentioned this hadith. Salih said: As it happened, when I entered Nishapur for the first time, a man of exactly this description received me. I asked about him, and the people told me that this was Muhammad bin Yahya. I greeted him with salam and he returned it, and I followed him until he dismounted at his lodging. I said: "Will the Shaykh show me his books?" He brought out some juz' (booklets) and said: "Wait until I go out for the Zuhr prayer." Then when he came out, he gave the adhan and the iqamah and led the prayer, then sat in his mihrab. I read before him what I had written, then I said to him: "There is a hadith that Fadlak al-Razi conveyed to me through the Shaykh's chain." He said: "Present it." I said: "Sa'id bin Amir narrated to you, (saying) Shu'bah narrated to us," and I related the whole hadith. He smiled and said to me: "O young man! One who makes such a (fine) selection of hadith as you have made and reads as you read knows that Sa'id bin Amir does not narrate a hadith like this." I said: "Yes, (in fact) it was Sa'id bin Wasil who narrated it to you?" He said: "Yes, Sa'id bin Wasil narrated it to us."

Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil narrates from Sayyiduna Jabir or Anas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The voice of Abu Talhah in the army is better than a thousand men." We have recorded it only with this chain, and all of its narrators, from first to last, are trustworthy (thiqah). However, this text is known from the hadith of Ali bin Zayd bin Jud'an from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him):

Ibn Jud'an narrates from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The voice of Abu Talhah in the army is better than a whole company."

Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abi Talhah narrates from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of the Battle of Uhud: "Whoever kills a disbeliever, his belongings (salab) will be his." So on that day Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) killed twenty (20) men. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
