And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated it to us, Waki' narrated to us — and Ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar narrated to us, they said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us — and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Ibn Abi 'Adiyy narrated to us — and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Bishr narrated to me, Bahz narrated to us — all of them on the authority of Shu'bah, similar to the hadith of Mu'adh and its chain of transmission. None of them mentioned in the hadith "I witnessed Hudhayfah" except Mu'adh alone; they only said that Hudhayfah asked for rain.
