I said: This is a good isnād, and its narrators are trustworthy and well-known, except for Kathīr ibn Qārūnd. This is how it was presented in "al-Tahdhīb," and no disagreement was mentioned regarding his father's name. The narration of al-Ṭabarānī confirms it, and it is supported by the fact that Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned him in his book (3/2/155) as "Kathīr ibn Qanbar," in accordance with the narration of al-Ṭabarānī.

The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said... " and he mentioned it. And al-Ḥākim said - and the two additions are his -:
