that the name of his father was altered by the printers or copyists. and that he is Mālik ibn al-Ḥārith, as it is mentioned in "Thiqāt Ibn Ḥibbān" (3/241-242): "Mālik ibn al-Ḥārith al-Kūfī al-Sulamī, Abū Mūsá, narrates from ʿAlī and Ibn ʿAbbās, narrated by Muḥammad ibn Qays and the people of Kūfah at the end of the governorship of al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf." Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned (4/1/207) that Manṣūr ibn al-Muʿtamir and al-Aʿmash narrated from him, and that Ibn Maʿīn said about him: trustworthy. He mentioned after him Mālik ibn al-Ḥārith al-Ashtar al-Nakhaʿī, who also narrated from ʿAlī, and both are from the men of "al-Tahdhīb," and it was mentioned that the first is from the men of Muslim, and it was not mentioned that he narrated from ʿAlī, unlike al-Ashtar, for he narrated from ʿAlī, so it appears that he is the narrator of this ḥadīth, thus the isnād is authentic.

There is another chain, narrated by ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥarmalah from Muḥammad ibn Iyās ibn Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ, that his father told him that Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ came to Medina, and he was met by Buraydah ibn al-Ḥuṣayb, who said: "Have you turned back from your migration, O Salamah?!" He said: "I seek refuge with Allāh, I am under the permission of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: 'Live in the desert, O Aslam! So that you may breathe the winds and dwell in the valleys.'" They said: "We fear that this might change our migration," so the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said
