وَأَسْنَدَ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَادِيثَ.
Translation: Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥimyarī transmitted multiple Prophetic reports through Abū Hurayrah.
Identification matters here: Ḥumayd al-Ḥimyarī and Ḥumayd al-Zuhrī are distinct narrators. Al-Nawawī warns against conflating them; similarity of names and the shared teacher Abū Hurayrah do not justify reattribution.
The full identifications are Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥimyarī and Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf al-Zuhrī: distinct Successors who both narrate from Abū Hurayrah. In *al-Jamʿ bayn al-Ṣaḥīḥayn*, al-Ḥumaydī states, within his count of the two Ṣaḥīḥ collections, that Muslim has only this report through al-Ḥimyarī from Abū Hurayrah, and al-Bukhārī has none through that route. Al-Nawawī confirms that restricted statement.
Al-Zuhrī, by contrast, has many narrations from Abū Hurayrah in the two collections. Treating those as al-Ḥimyarī’s in order to reject al-Ḥumaydī’s claim simply confuses two different narrators. The limitation concerns the specified books and route, not a universal denial of any other transmissions by al-Ḥimyarī.
