‘Ahmad bin Mani’ and several other narrators narrated to us,’ they all say: Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, and Sufyan narrated from ‘Abdul-Malik bin ‘Umair in the same manner. Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah used to practice tadlis in this hadith; sometimes he mentioned «عن زائدة عن عبد الملك بن عمير» in it and sometimes he did not mention «عن زائدة» in it,
2- Ibrahim bin Sa’d narrated this hadith from Sufyan Thawri, Sufyan from ‘Abdul-Malik bin ‘Umair, ‘Abdul-Malik from Hilal, the freed slave of Rubay’, Hilal from Rubay’, and Rubay’ from Hudhaifah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),
3- This hadith has also come from Rubay’ through another chain, which he narrated from Hudhaifah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),
4- Salim An’ami al-Kufi narrated this hadith from Rubay’ bin Hirash, from Hudhaifah.
