and a group followed ʿAmr, mentioned in the following corroborations: the third [corroboration]: Muḥārib ibn Dithār from him. Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī recorded it in his "Musnad" saying (239/1728): Shuʿbah narrated to us from Muḥārib with it, and in it: "When the man saw that, he prayed, then departed." From this route, it was recorded by al-Bukhārī (1/200/705), al-Ṭaḥāwī (1/125), al-Bayhaqī (3/116), Aḥmad (3/299), and Ibn Abī Shaybah (1/359). Al-Aʿmash followed him from Muḥārib ibn Dithār with the wording: "The man departed and prayed in a corner of the mosque." It was recorded by al-Nasāʾī (1/133). the fourth [corroboration]: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Miqsam from Jābir, and in it: "A young man from his people prayed behind him, and when it became prolonged for the young man, he prayed and left." It was recorded by Ibn Khuzaymah (3/64/1634), and al-Bayhaqī (3/116). the fifth [corroboration]: Abū al-Zubayr from him. The mention of those who recorded it was previously mentioned at the beginning of this verification, and it contains additions not found in the other narrations, and I have presented its wording in "Ṣifat al-Ṣalāh." In summary: the absence of the man's salutation in those authentic narrations from Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah, and in those corroborations for him and his teacher ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, leaves no room for doubt about the error of Muḥammad ibn ʿAbbād in mentioning the salutation in it; this is what al-Bayhaqī indicated as previously mentioned, and it was clarified by the ḥāfiẓ with his statement in "al-Fatḥ" (2/194) - after mentioning the wording of Ibn ʿAbbād -:
