and Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd explicitly stated that he heard [the ḥadīth]; thus, we are safe from the harm of his tadlīs. Then al-Ājurī narrated it through the path of Abū Anas Mālik ibn Sulaymān al-Ḥimṣī, who said: Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd narrated to us from Arṭāh ibn al-Mundhir with it. And this Mālik ibn Sulaymān was mentioned by Ibn Abī Ḥātim in his narration from Baqiyyah; he did not mention any criticism or endorsement of him, but he said: "Abū Zurʿah narrated from him."
