1356. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When you disagree over the road, then make it seven forearm lengths." (Saḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This is more correct than the narration of Waki' (a narrator in no. 1355). [He said:] There is something on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīḥ of Bashīr bin Ka'b [Al-'Adawī] from Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Saḥīḥ Ḥadīḥ. Some of them reported this from Qatādah, from Bashīr bin Nahik, from Abū Hurairah, but it is not preserved.

١٣٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ ‌بُشَيْرِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا تَشَاجَرْتُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَاجْعَلُوهُ سَبْعَةَ أَذْرُعٍ» وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. حَدِيثُ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ.
