bayhaqi:19762Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Aḥmad b. ʿAbdān > Aḥmad b. ʿUbayd al-Ṣaffār > ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar al-Ḍabbī > Abū al-Walīd > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Abū Salamah > Abū Hurayrah > Raʾá Rasūl

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed a pigeon, and then Satan said, "He follows a pigeon just as he follows his partner." He contradicted in what was narrated from him, so Muhammad ibn Amr narrated from Abu Salamah, who narrated from Aisha. And the hadith of Hammad is the most authentic, and Allah knows best. Umar ibn Hamza narrated from Husayn ibn Mus'ab, who said, "Abu Hurayrah disliked betting with two pigeons."
