Ibn Mardawayh from the route of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shaqīq from him. Its isnād was deemed good in "al-Fatḥ" (8/159); and I fear it might be one of the aspects of the discrepancies found in its isnād from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shaqīq. And knowledge is with Allāh, the Exalted. In summary, the ḥadīth, with all these routes combined, is authentic. Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Kathīr indicated this in his "Tafsīr," and Ibn Abī al-ʿIzz al-Ḥanafī explicitly affirmed its authenticity at the end of his commentary on "al-ʿAqīdah al-Ṭaḥāwiyyah."

I say: This isnād is good; due to the well-known disagreement regarding Muḥammad ibn ʿAjlān, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy, the men of the two Shaykhs, and al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ṣabbāḥ is one of the teachers of Ibn Jarīr, as al-Dhahabī mentioned in his biography in "al-Siyar" (14/269). And he was followed up; Ḥafṣ ibn ʿUmar al-Ḥawḍī said: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muslim narrated to us with it in detail in the wording:
