It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) is like that of a bee that went out early in the morning and ate of sweet and bitter things alike, then it (what comes from it) is all sweet."
This hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain, and Yahya bin Ayyub is alone in narrating it.
It is like this in the printed edition of Dar al-Haramayn, and perhaps the correct word is (Ibn Ayyub).
