حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، نَحْوَ هَذَا . وَقَدْ رَوَى غَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِهِ، . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ يُدَلِّسُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلٍ عَنِ ابْنِهِ وَرُبَّمَا ذَكَرَهُ .

Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us: al-Humaydi narrated to us, from Sufyan, with a report like this. More than one person narrated this hadith from Ibn Uyaynah, from al-Zuhri, from Anas, without mentioning Wa'il from his son in it. Abu Isa said: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah practiced tadlis in this hadith: sometimes he did not mention Wa'il from his son in its chain, and sometimes he did.

Tadlis is a technical term for concealing or omitting a link in a chain of transmission; the compiler describes the varying forms of this chain.
