Hannad narrated to us: Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from Al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from Al-Aswad, from 'Aishah, who said: I never saw the Prophet fasting during the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. Abu 'Isa said: More than one narrator reported this from Al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from Al-Aswad, from 'Aishah. Ath-Thawri and others reported it from Mansur, from Ibrahim, stating that the Prophet was not seen fasting during the ten days. Abu Al-Ahwas reported it from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from 'Aishah, omitting Al-Aswad. The narrators differed over the report from Mansur, and the narration of Al-A'mash is more authentic and has a more complete chain. Abu 'Isa said: I heard Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Aban say that he heard Waki' say: Al-A'mash had a better memory than Mansur for Ibrahim's chains of narration.
