حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ صَحِبْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَطَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَالْمِقْدَادَ وَسَعْدًا رضى الله عنهم فَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، إِلاَّ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ
As-Sa'ib bin Yazid Narrated from:
I have been in the company of `AbdurRahman bin `Auf, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah, Al-Miqdad and Sa`d, and I heard none of them narrating anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) excepting the fact that I heard Talha narrating about the day of Uhud (battle).

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4062
This hadith about Talha narrating about Uhud gives a careful and honest report from As-Saib bin Yazid. He says that he was in the company of `AbdurRahman bin `Auf, Talha, Al-Miqdad, and Sa`d. He did not hear any of them narrating from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), except that he heard Talha narrate about the day of Uhud. The core point is careful reporting. As-Saib does not claim more than what he heard. For people searching Sahih Bukhari 4062 or Talha Uhud hadith, the lesson is also about trust in narration. A person should speak within what he knows and avoid adding claims that are not known to him.
What we learn from this hadith
- As-Saib carefully reported only what he personally heard.
- Talha is linked in this narration with reporting about the day of Uhud.
- The hadith shows care in not attributing speech without clear hearing.
