Hadith 29:205
Ibn Mahdi narrated to us, from Sufyan, from his father, who said: It was said to Abu Wa'il, "Are you older, or is Rabi' ibn Khuthaym?" He said, "I am older than him in age, and he is greater than me in intellect."
حدثنا بن مهدي عن سفيان عن أبيه قال قيل لأبي وائل أنت أكبر أو ربيع بن خثيم قال أنا أكبر منه سنا وهو أكبر مني عقلا
