Hadith 4045

نَا نَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، نَا الْمَيْمُونِيُّ ، قَالَ : ذَكَرْتُ لأَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدِيثَ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ ، فَقَالَ لا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ خِلافُهُ ، قِيلَ لَهُ : مَنْ رَوَاهُ ؟ قَالَ : حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ ، " وَقَفَ الْمُولِي " .
Maimuni reports: I mentioned to Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal the narration of Ata Khurasani from Abu Salamah, transmitted from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: "I do not know what this is? Something contrary to this has been transmitted from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)." He was asked: "Who has transmitted it?" He replied: "Abu Abdullah or Habib bin Abi Thabit has transmitted, from Tawus, the opinion of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): It will be dependent on the will of the one who has taken the oath of abstention (ila’)."
