أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، قَالَ: قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: "إِذَا حَدَّثْتَنِي، فَحَدِّثْنِي، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي بِحَدِيثٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَنَةٍ فَمَا خَرَمَ مِنْهُ حَرْفًا".
Ibrahim Nakha'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: When you narrate a hadith from me, narrate it through the way of Abu Zur'ah, may Allah have mercy on him, because he narrated a hadith to me, then after a year I asked him about the same hadith, and he had not omitted even a single letter from it.
