In one narration the words are: We asked: Was he a Companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He (that is, Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah) replied: No! But he lived in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and (he was old enough that) he could milk animals and tie them up.
Ahmad recorded all of these narrations with various chains, and al-Bazzar recorded some of them. The narrators of one of Ahmad's chains and of al-Bazzar's are the narrators of the Sahih, except Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
