حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَقْرَمِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ فَمَرَّتْ رَكَبَةٌ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي . قَالَ فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَىْ إِبْطَيْهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ أَىْ بَيَاضِهِ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ وَجَابِرٍ وَأَحْمَرَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ وَمَيْمُونَةَ وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبِي أُسَيْدٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ وَالْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ وَعَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَأَحْمَرُ بْنُ جَزْءٍ هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَهُ حَدِيثٌ وَاحِدٌ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَقْرَمَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ إِنَّمَا لَهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ الزُّهْرِيُّ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَهُوَ كَاتِبُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ .

Abu Kurayb narrated to us: Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from Dawud ibn Qays, from Ubayd Allah ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Aqram al-Khuza‘i, from his father, who said: I was with my father in the plain of Namirah when a mounted group passed by; there was the Messenger of Allah standing in prayer. He said: When he prostrated, I could see the whiteness of both his armpits.
Reports on this subject are also related from Ibn Abbas, Ibn Buhaynah, Jabir, Ahmar ibn Jaz, Maymunah, Abu Humayd, Abu Masud, Abu Usayd, Sahl ibn Sa‘d, Muhammad ibn Maslamah, al-Bara ibn Azib, Adi ibn Umayrah, and A’ishah. Abu Isa said: Ahmar ibn Jaz was a man among the Prophet’s Companions who had one hadith. He said: The hadith of Abd Allah ibn al-Aqram is hasan. We know it only through the narration of Dawud ibn Qays, and we know no other hadith from Abd Allah ibn al-Aqram al-Khuza‘i from the Prophet. Most of the Prophet’s Companions acted on it. Abu Isa said: Abd Allah ibn al-Aqram al-Khuza‘i has only this hadith from the Prophet. Abd Allah ibn Arqam al-Zuhri was a Companion of the Prophet and the scribe of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source identifies two distinct Companions: Abd Allah ibn al-Aqram al-Khuza‘i, the narrator here, and Abd Allah ibn Arqam al-Zuhri, who served as Abu Bakr’s scribe.
وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ الزُّهْرِيُّ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
The similar names refer to different people; the source distinguishes the Khuza'i narrator from the Zuhri Companion and scribe.
Are these two similarly named Companions clearly kept separate?
