وحَدَّثَنِي حَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الأَعْمَى ، عَلَى قَتَادَةَ ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ ، قَالُوا : إِنَّ هَذَا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ بَدْرِيًّا ، فَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ : هَذَا كَانَ سَائِلًا قَبْلَ الْجَارِفِ ، لَا يَعْرِضُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذَا ، وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيهِ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ ، عَنْ بَدْرِيٍّ مُشَافَهَةً ، وَلَا حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ بَدْرِيٍّ مُشَافَهَةً ، إِلَّا عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ،
Hasan bin Alī al-Hulwānī narrated to me, he said Yazīd bin Hārūn narrated to us, Hammām informed us, he said ‘Abū Dāwud al-A’mā entered upon Qatādah and when he stood, they said: ‘Indeed this one alleges he has met eighteen of the warriors of the battle of Badr’. Qatādah said: ‘This one was barely asking [about Ḥadīth] before the plague; he did not attend to anything from [seeking Ḥadīth] and he did not speak [to any scholars] regarding it. By Allah, al-Hasan did not narrate to us from a witness of the battle of Badr without an intermediary; and Sa’īd bin al-Musayyib did not narrate to us from a witness of the battle of Badr without an intermediary except from Sa’d bin Mālik’.
