1001 - Ubayd Allah ibn Hanbal informed me, saying: My father, Hanbal ibn Ishaq, narrated to me, saying: Al-Humaydi narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us, saying: A man said to al-Zuhri: 'O Aba Bakr, what about the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: "He is not of us who strikes the cheeks, and he is not of us who does not honor our elder," and other similar hadiths?' Sufyan said: Al-Zuhri lowered his head for a moment, then raised his head and said: 'Knowledge is from Allah, the Almighty and Majestic; the duty of the Messenger is to convey, and our duty is to submit.'
١٠٠١ - وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَنْبَلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: ثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، قَالَ: ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، حَدِيثُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَطَمَ الْخُدُودَ، وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يُوَقِّرْ كَبِيرَنَا» ، وَمَا أَشْبَهَ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ؟ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَأَطْرَقَ الزُّهْرِيُّ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْعِلْمُ، وَعَلَى الرَّسُولِ الْبَلَاغُ، وَعَلَيْنَا التَّسْلِيمُ»
