حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ
Translation: Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us; he said, “Wakīʿ narrated to us,” from Shuʿbah, from al-Ḥakam, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā, from Samurah ibn Jundab.
The complete chain is Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah → Wakīʿ → Shuʿbah → al-Ḥakam → ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā → Samurah. The forms “ḥaddathanā” and “ʿan” signal different types of transmission wording; the chain’s full critical assessment does not follow from the particles alone.
The narrator ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā here is the eminent Successor, not his son Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā, the jurist also known as Ibn Abī Laylā, whom hadith critics judge weak in transmission.
