my uncle, who said, “Mu‘āwiya narrated to us.”’

Abū Bakr said: “I know of neither an attestation to this Abū Yazīd’s uprightness nor any criticism of him.”

He said: “A Kufan narrator named Sa‘īd ibn Suwayd al-Qurashī related this account in full from ‘Abd al-Rahmān ibn Ishāq, from ‘Abd al-Rahmān ibn Abī Laylā, from Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal. It bears a resemblance to the report of Yahyā ibn Abī Kathīr.”

Muhammad ibn Abī Sa‘īd ibn Suwayd al-Qurashī, a Kufan, narrated to us.
