365/5990), al-Ṭayālisī (540), ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad (5/132), and al-Ḍiyāʾ in "al-Mukhtārah" (3/370-371). al-Ḥākim said: "Its isnād is authentic." al-Dhahabī agreed with him, and it is as they said, as previously explained under the first ḥadīth number (2908). al-Ṭayālisī added at the end of the ḥadīth: "so he raised what he raised."
