tabarani:15341 – ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > ʿĀrim Abū al-Nuʿmān > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Hishām b. Ḥassān > Muḥammad b. Sīrīn

[Machine] No one from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ preceded Basra in virtue over Imran ibn al-Husayn.  

الطبراني:١٥٣٤١ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ

«مَا قَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَفْضُلُ عَلَى عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ»

[Machine] No one from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ is reported to have taken precedence over Imran ibn Husain in coming to Basra. Al-Dhahabi did not mention this in his summary.  

الحاكم:٥٩٩١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّفَّارُ ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي ثَنَا عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ

«مَا قَدِمَ أَحَدٌ الْبَصْرَةَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَفْضُلُ عَلَى عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
