And it was narrated to us by Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar, both saying: narrated to us Muhammad ibn Ja'far, narrated to us Shu'bah. And it was narrated to me by Zuhayr ibn Harb, narrated to us 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, narrated to us Hammam, all of them from Qatadah, with this chain of transmission. Shu'bah said: "from the end of al-Kahf." And Hammam said: "from the beginning of al-Kahf," just as Hisham said.
