ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit added that he heard from Ibrāhīm about Saʿd ibn Mālik, Khuzaymah ibn Thābit, and Usāmah ibn Zayd, who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it in a similar manner. It was recorded by Muslim, al-Nasāʾī (7523), and Aḥmad (1/182). 2 - As for the ḥadīth of Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ, it was previously mentioned in the narration of Ḥabīb through the route of Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd from him.
