وحَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَا وَحَمْزَةُ الزَّيَّاتُ مِنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ ، نَحْوًا مِنْ أَلْفِ حَدِيثٍ ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : " فَلَقِيتُ حَمْزَةَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَنَامِ ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ أَبَانَ ، فَمَا عَرَفَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا ، خَمْسَةً أَوْ سِتَّةً ،
Suwayd bin Sa’īd narrated to us, Alī bin Mus’hir narrated to us, he said: ‘Hamzah az-Zayyāt and I heard from Abān bin Abī Ayyāsh something like one thousand Ḥadīth’. Alī said: ‘So I met Hamzah then he informed me that he saw the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, [in a dream], and he produced for him what he heard from Abān. However he [the Prophet] didn’t recognize any except a small amount [like] five or six [Ḥadīth]’.
