Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 676

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ أَعْلَمَ بِحَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنِّي ، إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ; فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ بِيَدِهِ وَيَعِيهِ بِقَلْبِهِ ، وَكُنْتُ أَعِيهِ بِقَلْبِي وَلَا أَكْتُبُ بِيَدِي ، وَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي الْكِتَابَةِ عَنْهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِي الصَّحِيحِ بَعْضُهُ بِغَيْرِ سِيَاقِهِ ، خَلَا اسْتِئْذَانِهِ فِي الْكِتَابَةِ وَغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ ، وَهُوَ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، وَابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ مُدَلِّسٌ ، وَعَمْرٌو فِيهِ كَلَامٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was no one more knowledgeable of the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than me, except for Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), for he would note down the hadith with his hand and also preserve it in his heart, whereas I would preserve it in my heart but not note it down with my hand. He asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to note down hadith, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission.
Imam Ahmad recorded it. Part of it is narrated in the "Sahih" in a different context, without mention of his asking permission to write and other matters. It is narrated by Ibn Ishaq from Amr bin Shu'ayb; Ibn Ishaq is a mudallis (one who conceals defects in the chain), and Amr has been criticised.
