[Machine] About the Prophet, ﷺ , in a similar narration, he said: Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us, and many questions were asked to him. He replied: "I have not talked about it before." So I mentioned it to Qatadah and he said: "Yes, but many things have been forgotten. This does not prove his knowledge, nor does it require the acceptance of his narration. The words of the majority are contrary to his narration, and Allah knows best."  

البيهقي:١٥٠٤٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي نا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَيُّوبَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا قَالَ بِقَوْلِ الْحَسَنِ فِي أَمْرُكِ بِيَدِكِ أَنَّهُ ثَلَاثٌ؟ فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا شَيْءٌ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ قَتَادَةُ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا كَثِيرٌ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ قَطُّ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِقَتَادَةَ فَقَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ قَدْ نُسِيَ كَثِيرٌ هَذَا لَمْ يَثْبُتْ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ مَا يُوجِبُ قَبُولَ رِوَايَتِهِ وَقَوْلُ الْعَامَّةِ بِخِلَافِ رِوَايَتِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
