Abul Yaman narrated to us, he said: Shu'aib told us, he said: Abuz Zinad narrated to us that Abdur Rahman bin Hurmuz A'raj, who was the freed slave of Rabi'ah bin Harith, told him that he heard Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra). He heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) saying: “We are the last to come, (but) we shall be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection. Only this much, that they were given the Book before us. Then this is that day of theirs which was made obligatory for them, but they differed about it, and Allah the Exalted guided us to it. So the people are behind us in it. The day of the Jews is tomorrow and that of the Christians the day after tomorrow.”

قَالَ عَمْرٌو أَمَّا الْغُسْلُ فَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ وَاجِبٌ وَأَمَّا الاِسْتِنَانُ وَالطِّيبُ فَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَوَاجِبٌ هُوَ أَمْ لاَ وَلَكِنْ هَكَذَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ أَخُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ وَلَمْ يُسَمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ هَذَا. رَوَاهُ عَنْهُ بُكَيْرُ بْنُ الأَشَجِّ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ وَعِدَّةٌ. وَكَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ يُكْنَى بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ.

But this is how it is in the hadith. Abu Abdullah (Imam Bukhari (rh)) said: Abu Bakr bin Munkadir is the brother of Muhammad bin Munkadir. The name of Abu Bakr has not been given (only his Kunyah is found). Bukair bin Ashajj, Sa'id bin Abi Hilal and a few others have related narrations from him, and the Kunyah of Muhammad bin Munkadir was Abu Bakr and Abu Abdullah.
