".. he prayed with it ten times." It was narrated by Muslim and others, and authenticated by al-Tirmidhī and Ibn Ḥibbān, and it is included in "Ṣaḥīḥ Abī Dāwūd" (1369). I said: The narration of the group does not weaken the narration of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Isḥāq; because he has been corroborated by another chain, and there are supporting narrations: As for the chain; Imām Aḥmad said after it: Abū Kāmil narrated to us: Ḥammād narrated to us from Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ from Abū Hurayrah with it.

However, he mentioned that: "in some of the wording of al-Tirmidhī"! And this is an error "for it is not with
