I said: This is a more precise expression than the statement of al-Ṭabarānī mentioned earlier because it does not face the same objections as al-Ṭabarānī's statement that Aḥmad ibn Yūnus was the sole narrator. Imām Aḥmad said in "al-Musnad" (2/513): Ibn ʿĀmir narrated to us: Abū Bakr informed us from Hishām in a similar manner. Ibn ʿĀmir is (Aswad ibn ʿĀmir) as in the preceding ḥadīths, and he is a trustworthy narrator from the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim].

She said: Yes... the ḥadīth is similar. Aḥmad reported it (2/421) and Shahr ibn Ḥawshab is weak, and his ḥadīths contain objectionable additions, and Allāh knows best.
