Ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar narrated to us, both saying: Abd al-Rahman — meaning Ibn Mahdi — narrated to us from Sufyan. And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us from Ammar ibn Ruzayq. Both of them narrated from Mansur, with the chain of Jarir, a similar hadith to his, except that in the hadith of Sufyan it says: "And his companion from the jinn and his companion from the angels have been appointed over him."
