ibn ʿAbd Allāh. Then the ḥadīth was narrated by Ibn Naṣr (55) and ʿAbd al-Razzāq in "al-Muṣannaf" (8/137/14629) with an authentic chain from Shurayḥ who said: he mentioned it from his statement exactly like the wording of the ḥadīth of the chapter. I said: Simāk is Ibn Ḥarb, a well-known Successor, who said: I met eighty Companions. Therefore, his interpretation of the ḥadīth should be prioritized in case of conflict, especially since he is one of the narrators of this ḥadīth, and the narrator is more knowledgeable about what he narrates than others because it is assumed that he received the narration from the one who narrated it to him, coupled with an understanding of its meaning.

And he added: "If he sells it on one of them before they part, there is no harm in it." This is not authentic from Ṭāwūs because Layth - who is Ibn Abī Sulaym - had become confused. 3 - Sufyān al-Thawrī, said:
