Compiled by Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ - حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَلْقَمَةَ - عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَعْنَى حَمَّادٍ كُلِّهِ إِلَى آخِرِ قَوْلِهِ نُبِّئْتُ أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ . قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالتَّشَهُّدُ قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَتَشَهَّدَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ كَانَ يُسَمِّيهِ ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ . وَلاَ ذَكَرَ فَأَوْمَئُوا . وَلاَ ذَكَرَ الْغَضَبَ وَحَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ أَتَمُّ .

He replied: I did not hear thing about the tashahhud, but it is more liking to me that one should recite the tashahhud. This version has not the words “whom he called the possessor of arms(Dhu al-yadain).” Nor the words “they made a sign,” nor the word “anger”. The tradition narrated by Hammad from Ayyub is more perfect.
