حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَائِمًا فِي الْعَشْرِ قَطُّ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى الثَّوْرِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يُرَ صَائِمًا فِي الْعَشْرِ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ ‏.‏ وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا عَلَى مَنْصُورٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَرِوَايَةُ الأَعْمَشِ أَصَحُّ وَأَوْصَلُ إِسْنَادًا ‏.‏ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ وَكِيعًا يَقُولُ الأَعْمَشُ أَحْفَظُ لإِسْنَادِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنْ مَنْصُورٍ ‏.‏
