English translation
3662. Hudhaifah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Stick to the two after me, Abū Bakr and 'Umar." (Hasan) There is something on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. Sufyān Ath-Thawrī reported this Hadīth from 'Abdul-Malik bin 'Umair, from a freed slave of Ribi'ī, from Ribi'ī, from Hudhaifah from the Prophet ﷺ. Ahmad bin Manī' and more than one narrator narrated to us, they said: "Sufyān bin 'Uyainah narrated to us from 'Abdul-Malik bin 'Umair" similarly. And Sufyān bin 'Uyainah would commit Tadlīs with this Hadīth. Sometimes he would mention it from Zā'idah from 'Abdul-Malik bin 'Umair, and sometimes he wouldn't mention Zā'idah in it. Ibrāhīm bin Sa'd reported this Hadith from Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, from 'Abdul-Mālik bin 'Umair, from Hilāl, the freed slave of Ribi'ī, from Ribi'ī, from Hudhaifah, from the Prophet ﷺ. This Hadith has also been reported from other than this route, from Ribi'ī, from Hudhaifah from the Prophet ﷺ. [Sālim Al-An'umī who is from Al-Kūfah, reported it from Ribi'ī bin Hīrāsh, from Hudhaifah].
