Musnad Ahmad 826:2

Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Hisham informed us, my father informed me, from al-Ahnaf ibn Qays, from a paternal uncle of his who was called Jariyah ibn Qudamah, that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me a statement and make it brief for me," and he mentioned the hadith. Yahya narrated to us, Hisham said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah'," and they say: "He did not meet the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," meaning Yahya ibn Sa'id is saying: "And they say."
