[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and Umar walking in front of the funeral, so I approached him and said, "O Abu Muhammad, it seems that Ma'mar and Ibn Juraij disagree with you in this matter, meaning that they transmit the hadith about the Prophet ﷺ ." He said, "Al-Zuhri has settled it, he narrated it to me, I heard it from him, he repeated it and made it clear from Salim, who heard it from his father." So I said to him, "O Abu Muhammad, Ma'mar and Ibn Juraij both speak about it, and Uthman said that." He said, "Perhaps he said it, but I did not write it down because at that time I was inclined towards the Shia." The Sheikh said, "Ibn Juraij and Ma'mar disagreed on the continuity of the hadith, as it was narrated from each of them connected and transmitted, and it has been said that it was narrated from Ibn Juraij through Ziyad bin Sa'ad from Al-Zuhri."
