(1) قوله: "غنمًا سودًا يتبعها" سقط من (ز) و (ب).

(2) صحيح لغيره، وهذا إسناد رجاله ثقات إلا أنه قد اختُلف في إسناده.

فقد رواه محمد بن عمران بن أبي ليلى - وهو صدوق لا بأس به - عند ابن أبي خيثمة في السفر الثاني من "تاريخه" (3315)، والدولابي في "الكنى" (46)، وأبي نعيم في "تاريخ أصبهان" 1/ 10 عن محمد بن فضيل، عن الأعمش، عن عمرو بن مرة، عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى، عن أبي بكر نفسه. وابن أبي ليلى لم يدرك أبا بكر.
Reference / Source: Muhammad bin Imran bin Abi Layla, who is saduq with no harm in him, narrated it, as recorded by Ibn Abi Khaythamah in the second volume of his "al-Tarikh" (3315), al-Dulabi in "al-Kuna" (46) and Abu Nu'aym in "Tarikh Asbahan" (1/10), from Muhammad bin Fudayl, from al-A'mash, from Amr bin Murrah, from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla, from Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) himself. Technical note / Defect ('illah): Yet Ibn Abi Layla did not meet Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) (so it is munqati').
وخالف ابنَ فضيل في وصله ثقتان: هما سفيانُ بن عيينة عند أبي بكر الشافعي في "الغيلانيات" (31)، وأبي نعيم في "أخبار أصبهان" 1/ 10، وعبدُ الله بن إدريس عند ابن أبي شيبة 11/ 59، فروياه عن حصين - وهو ابن عبد الرحمن السلمي - عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ؛ مرسلًا. قال الدارقطني في "العلل" (80): وهو المحفوظ.
Details of the narration: Two trustworthy narrators contradicted Ibn Fudayl in making (the chain) connected: Sufyan bin Uyaynah, in Abu Bakr al-Shafi'i's "al-Ghaylaniyyat" (31) and Abu Nu'aym's "Akhbar Asbahan" (1/10); and Abd Allah bin Idris, in Ibn Abi Shaybah (11/59). Both of them narrated it from Husayn (bin Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami), from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, i.e. as "mursal". Grading: Al-Daraqutni said in "al-Ilal" (80): this (the mursal narration) is the preserved one (mahfuz).
ويشهد له حديث عمرو بن شرحبيل عند أبي نعيم 1/ 9 عن رجل من أصحاب النَّبِيّ ﷺ قال: قال النَّبِيّ ﷺ لأبي بكر، فذكره. وإسناده صحيح.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: It is supported (shahid) by the hadith of Amr bin Shurahbil in Abu Nu'aym (1/9) from one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Abu Bakr, and he mentioned it. Grading: Its chain is sahih.
وآخر من حديث أبي هريرة عنده 1/ 10، وفي إسناده جهالة.
Grading: And another from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) with him (Abu Nu'aym) (1/10), but its chain contains an unknown narrator (jahalah).
وفي الباب عن أبي الطفيل عند أحمد 39 / (23801)، وإسناده ضعيف.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: In this chapter there is a narration from Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) in Ahmad (39/23801), but its chain is weak.
وعن النعمان بن بشير وجبير بن مطعم عند أبي نعيم 1/ 9، وإسنادهما ضعيف بمرّة.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: And from al-Nu'man bin Bashir and Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with them) in Abu Nu'aym (1/9), but the chains of both are extremely weak.
وعن قتادة مرسلًا عند معمر في "جامعه" (19924).
