وحدثنا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَا : حدثنا سُفْيَانُ . ح وحدثنا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حدثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَقَالَا : كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ الْخَبَثَ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرَا : الْحَدِيدَ .
This hadith has been narrated by Yahya bin Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): "Just as a furnace removes impurity," but no mention is made of iron.
