Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Abu Ammar al-Husayn ibn Hurayth narrated to us: Waki narrated to us, from al-Amash—Hilal ibn Yasaf narrated to us—from Imran ibn Husayn, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with a report like the preceding one.

Some scholars interpret the statement about offering testimony before being asked to mean false testimony: a person bears witness without being called upon. The explanation appears in the following hadith. [The Arabic source block itself ends at this point.]
