حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ نَفَرٌ عَلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: حَدِّثْنَا أَحَادِيثَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ: مَاذَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ؟ كُنْتُ جَارَهُ فَكَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ فَكَتَبْتُهُ لَهُ، فَكُنَّا إِذَا ذَكَرْنَا الدُّنْيَا ذَكَرَهَا مَعَنَا، وَإِذَا ذَكَرْنَا الآخِرَةَ ذَكَرَهَا مَعَنَا، وَإِذَا ذَكَرْنَا الطَّعَامَ ذَكَرَهُ مَعَنَا، فَكُلُّ هَذَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.

‘Abbas ibn Muhammad al-Duri narrated to us: ‘Abd Allah ibn Yazid al-Muqri’ narrated to us: Layth ibn Sa‘d narrated to us: Abu ‘Uthman al-Walid ibn Abi al-Walid narrated to me, from Sulayman ibn Kharijah, from Kharijah ibn Zayd ibn Thabit, who said: A group of people came to Zayd ibn Thabit and said to him, “Relate to us reports from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).” He said, “What shall I relate to you? I was his neighbor. When revelation descended upon him, he would send for me, and I would write it down for him. When we spoke of this world, he spoke of it with us; when we spoke of the Hereafter, he spoke of it with us; and when we spoke of food, he spoke of it with us. All of this I relate to you from the Messenger of Allah.”

The complete chain is included; the English witness begins with Kharijah ibn Zayd ibn Thabit.
The final clause says that Zayd relates all these matters from the Messenger of Allah; it does not restrict the statement to only the Messenger’s comments about them.
