then I found the ḥadīth in al-Ṭabarānī (numbers 7182 and 7183) through the route of Muhlab ibn al-ʿAlāʾ who narrated to us from Shuʿayb ibn Bayān al-Ṣaffār, who narrated to us from ʿImrān al-Qaṭṭān, from Qatādah, from al-Ḥasan, from Shaddād as a marfūʿ report. Al-Ḥasan here is al-Baṣrī, who is known for tadlīs. Al-Muhlab ibn al-ʿAlāʾ, according to al-Haythamī (4/145): "I did not find a biography for him, but the rest of the narrators are trustworthy." I say: there is no harm in using it as supporting evidence. And Allāh knows best.

- "The people of Paradise are those whose ears Allāh fills with the praise of people for good while they hear, and the people of Hell are those whose ears He fills with the praise of people for evil while they hear." It was narrated by Ibn Mājah (4224), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (number 12787), Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (3/80), and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Shuʿab" (2/342/1) through the route of Abū Hilāl who narrated to us from ʿUqbah ibn Abī Thabit, from Abū al-Jawzāʾ, from Ibn ʿAbbās who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: (and he mentioned it).

Al-Ḥāfiẓ said about him: "Truthful but has some weakness." From this, it becomes clear that al-Būṣīrī was lenient when he said in "al-Zawāʾid" (p. 285/2): "This isnād is ṣaḥīḥ, its narrators are trustworthy"! Yes, the ḥadīth is ṣaḥīḥ, as it has many supporting evidences, including one from Anas as a marfūʿ report similar to it. It was narrated by al-Bazzār (p. 326 of Ibn Ḥajar's Zawāʾid) and al-Ḥākim (1/378) through two routes from Thābit from him. And al-Ḥākim said:
