This tradition has also been reported by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators. Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: . . . . . . He then narrated the tradition about drawing the line. Sufyan said: We did not find anything by which we could reinforce this tradition, and this has been narrated only through this chain. He (Ali bin al-Madini, a narrator) said: I said to Sufyan: There is a difference of opinion of the name (Abu Muhammad bin Amr). He pondered for a moment and then said: I do not remember except Abu Muhammad bin Amr Sufyan said: A man had come to Kufah after the death of Ismail bin Umayyah ; he was seeking Abu Muhammad until he found him. He asked him (about this tradition) but he became confused. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal who was questioned many times how the line should be drawn. He replied: In this way. horizontally like crescent. Abu Dawud said: I heard Musaddad say: Ibn Dawud said: The line should be drawn perpendicularly. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal describing many times how the line should be drawn. He said: In this way horizontally in the round semi-circular form like the crescent, that is (the line should be) a curve.

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: The Prophet ﷺ said: Attend the sermon (on Friday) and sit near the imam, for a man keeps himself away until he will be left behind at the time of entering Paradise though he enters it.

Yahya said: Sufyan disapproved of the interpretation of the phrase "has nothing to do with us" as "not like us".

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Salman through a different chain of narrators. This version goes: Salman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about locusts. He replied in a similar way (as mentioned above) saying: The most numerous of Allah’s host. The narrator Ali said: His name is Fa’id, that is the name of al-Awwam. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Hammad bin Salamah, from Abu al-Awwam from Abu uthman, from the Prophet ﷺ. He did not mention salman (i. e., the companions).

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone emancipates his share in a slave, he is to be completely emancipated by his money if he has money. But if he has no money, a fair price for the slave should be fixed, and the slave is required to work for his master according to the proportion of his price, but he must not be overburdened. Abu Dawud said: In the version of both the narrators the words are "he will be required to work and must not be overburdened". This is the version of Ali.
