أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَيُّوبَ هَلْ عَلِمْتَ أَحَدًا قَالَ فِي أَمْرِكِ بِيَدِكِ أَنَّهَا ثَلاَثٌ غَيْرَ الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ لاَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ غَفْرًا إِلاَّ مَا حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " ثَلاَثٌ " . فَلَقِيتُ كَثِيرًا فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى قَتَادَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ نَسِيَ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ .
Ali bin Nasr bin Ali narrated to us; Sulayman bin Harb narrated to us. Hammad bin Zayd said: I asked Ayyub, ‘Did you know anyone besides al-Hasan who said, concerning “Your affair is in your hand,” that it amounts to three?’ He said, ‘No.’ Then he said, ‘May Allah forgive me!—except for what Qatadah narrated to me, from Kathir, the freedman of Ibn Samurah, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, who said, “Three.”’ I met Kathir and asked him, but he did not know the report. I returned to Qatadah and told him, and he said, ‘He forgot.’ Abu Abd al-Rahman said: This is a munkar report.
