Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي رِزْمَةَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِشُعْبَةَ خَالَفَكَ سُفْيَانُ . قَالَ دَمَغْتَنِي . وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَعِينٍ قَالَ كُلُّ مَنْ خَالَفَ سُفْيَانَ فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ .
Translation
Ibn Abi Rizmah said: I heard my father say that a man told Shubah, Sufyan disagrees with you. Shubah replied, You have overwhelmed me. I have heard that Yahya ibn Main said, When anyone disagrees with Sufyan, Sufyan is the one to follow.
