Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهُ " يَا ذَا الأُذُنَيْنِ " . قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ يَعْنِي مَازَحَهُ . وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ .
