and the other addition he has prevents knowing whether the story is with the first isnād or the latter. Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Kathīr said in "al-Tārīkh" (7/241) after narrating the story from al-Bayhaqī: "In my opinion, if the ḥadīth we mentioned is authentic from him, then he did not retract anything else, and it is unlikely that he would atone for his oath and then later attend to fight ʿAlī. And Allāh knows best."

It was recorded by al-Bukhārī in "al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr" (1/1/323) and in "al-Ṣaghīr" (p. 93), al-Ḥākim (4/500), al-Bayhaqī in "Dalāʾil al-Nubuwwah" (6/503), al-Ṭabarānī in "Musnad al-Shāmiyyīn" (836), and Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (9/4/2) through the route of al-Bukhārī and others from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Ziyād al-Alahānī from his father from ʿAbdullāh ibn Busr that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said to him: ... and he mentioned it. I said: This isnād is acceptable for supporting evidence; all its men are trustworthy and well-known except for
