3693. 'Āishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Among the nations, there used to be Muḥaddathūn, and if there were one in my nation, it would be 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb." (Ṣaḥīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh. [He said:] And some of the companions of Ibn 'Uyainah informed me that Sufyān bin 'Uyainah said: "Muḥaddathūn meaning: those who were given understanding."
