English translation
5176. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Abī Sufyān that 'Amr bin 'Abdullāh bin Šafwān informed him, from Kaladah bin Ḥanbal, that Šafwān bin Umayyah sent him to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with some milk, young gazelle meat and small cucumbers, when the Prophet ﷺ was in the upper part of Makkah. I entered, but I did not say Salām. He said: "Go back and say: 'As-Salāmu 'alaikum.'" That was after Šafwān bin Umayyah accepted Islam. 'Amr said: "And Ibn Šafwān informed me of this, all of it, from Kaladah bin Al-Ḥanbal" and he did not say that he heard it from him. (Hasan) Abū Dāwud said: Yahyā bin Ḥabīb said: "Umayyah bin Ṣawfān" and he did not say (in it) that he heard it from Kaladah bin Al-Ḥanbal. And Yahyā also said that 'Amr bin 'Abdullāh bin Ṣafwān informed him; that Kaladah bin Al-Ḥanbal informed him.
