Saʿīd narrated it to us. It was also recorded by al-Tirmidhī (1573), al-Dārimī (2/262), al-Nasāʾī in "al-Kubrā" (5/232/8764), and Ibn Mājah (2412) through other routes from Saʿīd. 4 - Shuʿbah from Qatādah with it. It was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān (1676), - (5/281-282), Ibn al-Muẓaffar in "Gharāʾib Shuʿbah" (fol. 12/1), and Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (2/18/1) through routes from him. 5 - Abū ʿAwānah from Qatādah with it. It was recorded by al-Ḥākim (2/26) through the route of Abū al-Walīd al-Ṭayālisī and ʿAffān ibn Muslim from him. And al-Bayhaqī (9/101-102) through another route from Abū al-Walīd alone, and al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him. Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd disagreed with them in the isnād and said: Abū ʿAwānah narrated to us... and mentioned it, without mentioning Maʿdān ibn Abī Ṭalḥah. It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (1572) who said: "The narration of Saʿīd is more authentic, meaning in the isnād, because he added a man and connected it, and Sālim did not hear from Thawbān." I say: There is no doubt that the narration of Saʿīd is more authentic than this narration of Abū ʿAwānah because of the corroborations we mentioned for it, and due to the agreement of the narration of al-Ṭayālisī and ʿAffān from Abū ʿAwānah with it. Therefore, the narration of Qutaybah from him is anomalous
