English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from 'Amr, from Ibn Munabbih — meaning Wahb — from his brother [Hammam ibn Munabbih] who said: I heard Abu Hurayra say: 'There is no one who narrates more hadiths from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than I — except 'Abdillah ibn 'Amr, for he used to write them down, while I did not write.'
