حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ ، أن الليث بن سعد . حدثهم عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْثٍ فَقَالَ : " إِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا " ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ .
Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us along with a contingent, and said: If you find so-and-so. He then narrated the rest of the tradition to the same effect.
