Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ مَا كُلُّ الْحَدِيثِ سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا أَصْحَابُنَا عَنْهُ كَانَتْ تَشْغَلُنَا عَنْهُ رَعِيَّةُ الْإِبِلِ.
English Translation
Mu'awiyah ibn Hisham told us: Sufyan told us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara', who said: Not everything we narrate did we hear from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him; rather our companions used to narrate it to us from him, for tending the camels used to keep us occupied away from him.
