Sahih Muslim Vol. 1, Book of Introduction, Hadith 31
Muhammad bin Abī Umar al-Makkī narrated to us, Sufyān narrated to us; and Abū Bakr bin Khallād al-Bāhilī narrated to us – and the wording is his, he said, I heard Sufyān bin Uyaynah, on authority of Mis’ar, he said, I heard Sa’d bin Ibrāhīm saying:
‘There is to be no narrating on authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except by trustworthy narrators (Thiqāt)’.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمَكِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، يَقُولُ لاَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ الثِّقَاتُ .
