relying on transmission and memorization. I only said "closer" because I found this ḥadīth in the biography of Abū Bishr al-Anṣārī in "al-Iṣābah"; it states: "Ibn Abī Khaythamah mentioned him and narrated for him... (he then presented the ḥadīth and said:) Ibn Abī Khaythamah distinguished between him and Abū Bashīr al-Anṣārī, whose ḥadīth is recorded in 'the two Ṣaḥīḥs'.

As for giving him the kunyah of Abū al-Yusr, no one narrated it; it is merely an error by the commentator.

It was recorded by Aḥmad (5/216) through the route of ʿAbd Allāh, and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (22/294/751) through the route of Yaḥyá ibn Bukayr: Ibn Lahīʿah narrated to us: Ḥibbān ibn Wāsiʿ narrated to me from his father from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Zayd and Abū Bashīr al-Anṣārī that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) ... the ḥadīth. I said: And this isnād is authentic, its narrators are trustworthy, the men of Muslim; except that it was narrated for Ibn
