And it was narrated to us by ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Muʿādh—he said: narrated to us my father. (Another chain:) And it was narrated to us by Muḥammad ibn Bashshār—he said: narrated to us ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī. Both of them narrated from Shuʿbah with this chain of transmission, and in their narration there is neither Shuʿbah's statement nor his saying: "And the people had been afflicted with hardship that day."
