abudawud:3338Ibn Abū Rizmah from my father > a man Lishuʿbah Khālafak Sufyān > Damaghtanī And Balaghanī > Yaḥyá b. Maʿīn

I heard my father say: A man said to Shu'bah: Sufyan opposed you (i.e. narrated a tradition which differs from your version). He replied: You racked my mind. I have been told that Yahya b. Ma'in said: If anyone opposes Sufyan, the version of Sufyan will be acceptable.  

أبو داود:٣٣٣٨حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي رِزْمَةَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِشُعْبَةَ خَالَفَكَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ دَمَغْتَنِي وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَعِينٍ قَالَ

كُلُّ مَنْ خَالَفَ سُفْيَانَ فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ
