Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
English Commentary:
1:
The author's intent is as follows:
This hadith of Abdullah bin Zayd radi Allahu anhu has come through three chains:
First, this one: "Ibn Abi Layla, from Amr bin Murrah, from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla, from Abdullah."
Second, through: "Al-A'mash, from Amr bin Murrah, from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla, from Abdullah."
Third, through: "Shu'bah, from Amr bin Murrah, from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla, from the Companions of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam."
And according to the author, the last-mentioned third chain is more authentic,
(because Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla did not hear from Abdullah bin Zayd)
and its content (as well as the content of the second) is different from the first,
that is, it only mentions the seeing of the dream and nothing more.
Note:
(Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla did not hear from Abdullah bin Zayd)
