حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فِيهِ: $عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ#.
With this chain, Abu al-Duha narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud from the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the same manner. And in this chain, Masruq is not mentioned 2. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is more authentic than the hadith of Abu al-Duha which he narrates from Masruq. And Abu al-Duha's name is Muslim bin Subaih. © Abu al-Duha also narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud from the Prophet (peace be upon him) with this chain, like the narration of Abu Nu'aym. And in this too, Masruq is not mentioned.
´Narrated 'Abdullah:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Every Prophet had a Wali among the Prophets. My Wali is my father Ibrahim the Khalil of my Lord." Then he recited: Verily among mankind who have the best claim to Ibrahim, are those who followed him, and this Prophet and those who have believed. And Allah is the Wali (protector) of the believers (3:68).
