Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

al-Akhnas, from al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Yūsuf ibn Māhak, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, with the same wording. (1)
Likewise, it has been transmitted through ʿUqayl ibn Khālid and others, from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, with a similar tenor.

An authentic report also comes from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, from Wahb ibn Munabbih, from his brother Hammām, who heard Abū Hurayrah say:
“No one among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated more ḥadiths than I—apart from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, for he would write whereas I did not.” (2)
This narration is found in the Ṣaḥīfah of Maʿmar, from Hammām.

Ibn Isḥāq likewise relates it—from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from Mujāhid—and another transmitter records it from Abū Hurayrah in the same sense. (3)

Abū al-Naḍr Hāshim ibn al-Qāsim and Saʿdawayh both said: “Isḥāq ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ṭalḥah narrated to us, from Mujāhid, who said:

I entered upon ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr and reached for a scroll that lay beneath his pillow, but he resisted. I said, ‘Are you denying me something from your writings?’

He replied, ‘This is the truthful scroll which I heard directly from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; there is no intermediary between him and me. So long as I retain the Book of Allah, this scroll, and al-Waḥṭ, I care not what portion of the world slips away from me.’ (4)

al-Waḥṭ is a vast orchard in Ṭāʾif; at one time its trellises alone cost a full million dirhams.

(1) From the phrase “on the authority of Yusuf” up to this point is missing in the printed edition. (2) Reported by al-Bukhari in his Sahih, 1/184, Book of Knowledge, chapter “Writing down Knowledge”; by al-Ramhurmuzi in al-Muhaddith al-Fasil, no. 328; and by al-Khatib in Taqyid al-Ilm, p. 82. (3) Transmitted by Abu Zur‘a in Tarikh Dimashq, no. 1515, and cited by Ibn Asakir, p. 235. See also al-Muhaddith al-Fasil, no. 329, and Taqyid al-Ilm, p. 83. (4) Recorded by Ibn Asakir, p. 236; Ishaq b. Yahya b. Talhah, however, is weak. It is also found, in a shorter wording, in Ibn Saad, 2/273 and 4/262.
الأَخْنَسِ، عَنِ الوَلِيْدِ بنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ يُوْسُفَ بنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ (١) بنِ عَمْرٍو، نَحْوَهُ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ: عُقَيْلِ بنِ خَالِدٍ، وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بنِ شُعَيْبٍ، نَحْوَهُ. وَثَبَتَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بنِ دِيْنَارٍ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَخِيْهِ هَمَّامٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُوْلُ: لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ حَدِيْثاً مِنِّي، إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ عَمْرٍو، فَإِنَّهُ يَكْتُبُ وَلاَ أَكْتُبُ (٢) . وَهُوَ فِي صَحِيْفَةِ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ. وَيَرْوِيْهِ: ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ؛ عَنْ عَمْرِو بنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، وَآخَرُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مِثْلَهُ (٣) . أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بنُ القَاسِمِ، وَسَعْدَوَيْه، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بنُ يَحْيَى بنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ عَمْرٍو، فَتَنَاوَلْتُ صَحِيْفَةً تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ، فَتَمَنَّعَ عَلَيَّ. فَقُلْتُ: تَمْنَعُنِي شَيْئاً مِنْ كُتُبِكَ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّحِيْفَةَ الصَّادِقَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ أَحَدٌ، فَإِذَا سَلِمَ لِي كِتَابُ اللهِ وَهَذِهِ الصَّحِيْفَةُ وَالوَهْطُ، لَمْ أُبَالِ مَا ضَيَّعْتُ الدُّنْيَا (٤) . الوَهْطُ: بُسْتَانٌ عَظِيْمٌ بِالطَّائِفِ، غَرِمَ مَرَّةً عَلَى عُرُوْشِهِ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ.
