It was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān (1728, Mawārid). Yazīd was followed by Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth from Dāwūd ibn Abī Hind with it. It was recorded by al-Ḥākim (2/142 and 4/366) who said: "The isnād is authentic." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him. He was also followed by ʿAlī ibn ʿĀṣim from Dāwūd with it; however, he differed in his narration and said: "A man from the Anṣār apostatized..." the ḥadīth is similar, and at its end: "He said: His people wrote to him about it, and when it was read to him, he said: By Allāh! My people did not lie to me about the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), nor did the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) lie about Allāh ﷿, and Allāh is the truest of the three.

So it is therein, he did not narrate its wording, but rather referred to the wording of Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ mentioned before, and its first part is like the first part of the ḥadīth of ʿAlī ibn ʿĀṣim as you see. So Allāh knows best; did it follow it—I mean: the ḥadīth of ʿĀṣim—or the ḥadīth of Ibn Zurayʿ? But Ibn Jarīr narrated after it a supporting narration from ʿAbd al-Razzāq who said: "Jaʿfar ibn Sulaymān informed us, saying: Ḥumayd al-Aʿraj informed us from Mujāhid who said:
