then I saw that al-Dhahabī mentioned from Ibn al-Qaṭṭān that he said: "it implies that his report is ḥasan, not ṣaḥīḥ." All praise is due to Allāh for His guidance. The others only have the elevated [part] of the narration, and al-Tirmidhī said: "a ḥadīth that is ḥasan gharīb from this perspective."
