muslim:979hMuḥammad b. Rāfiʿ > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > al-Thawrī And Maʿmar > Ismāʿīl b. Umayyah Bihadhā al-Isnād Mithl Ḥadīth Ibn Mahdī Wayaḥyá b. Ādam Ghayr

A hadith like this has been narrated by Isma'il b. Umayya with the same chain of transmitters, but instead of the word dates, fruit has been used.  

مسلم:٩٧٩hوَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ وَمَعْمَرٌ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ وَيَحْيَى بْنِ آدَمَ غَيْرَ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَدَلَ التَّمْرِ ثَمَرٍ
