1917. Commentary: There is a difference of opinion between Imam Abu Dawood rahimahullah’s teachers, Hanan ibn Sari and Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah, regarding the name of the Companion. Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah says it is ‘Adda’ ibn Khalid ibn Hawzah, whereas Hanan has said Khalid ibn ‘Adda’. The Imam (Abu Dawood) has mentioned the chain of Ibn al-‘Ala from Waki‘ in support of Hanan. However, in the following chain, in the narration of ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azim, it is ‘Adda’ ibn Khalid. Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has affirmed the correctness of ‘Adda’ ibn Khalid in Taqrib al-Tahdhib. And Allah knows best.
