we were sitting with the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), and ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ had gone to put on his clothes to catch up with me. While we were with him, he said: ... and he mentioned the ḥadīth. By Allāh! I remained anxious, looking in and out until so-and-so entered: al-Ḥakam [ibn Abī al-ʿĀṣ].

Therefore, al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Dhahabī, despite his caution which I will mention, could not but declare in "Tārīkh al-Islām" (2/57) by saying:
