Chapter 5: What Has Been Related Concerning the Description of the Wives of the People of Paradise - كتاب صفة الجنة عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ . وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبِيدَةَ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ وَهَكَذَا رَوَى جَرِيرٌ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعُوهُ . حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ أَصْحَابُ عَطَاءٍ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ .
(Another chain:
) From 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, similar in meaning, and he did not report it in Marfu' form. And this is more correct than the narration of 'Abidah bin Humaid (a narrator in no.2533), and it has been reported like this by Jarir and more than one from 'Ata' bin As-Sa'ib, and they did not mention it in Marfu' form.[Qutaibah repoted to us (he said): "Jarir reported to us, from 'Ata' bin As-Sa'ib and it is similar to the narration of Abu Al-Ahwas. The companions of 'Ata' did not narrate it in Marfu' form, and this is more correct.]
