حَدَّثَنِي الْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الأَعْمَى فَجَعَلَ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنَا الْبَرَاءُ ، قَالَ : وَحَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ ، فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِقَتَادَةَ ، فَقَالَ : كَذَبَ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ سَائِلًا ، يَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسَ زَمَنَ طَاعُونِ الْجَارِفِ ،
Al-Faḍl bin Sahl narrated to me, he said Affān bin Muslim narrated to us, Hammām narrated to us, he said, Abū Dāwud al-A’mā came to us and began saying: ‘Al-Barā’ [bin Āzib, the Companion] narrated to us’; he said: ‘Zayd bin Arqam narrated to us’- and he mentioned that [those chains] to Qatādah. [Qatādah] said ‘He lied; he did not hear from them. He would beg the people asking [about Ḥadīth] at the time of the plague’ [circa 67H].
