that Allāh grants victory and conquest) and in my view, there is no omission in it, and it is from al-Bukhārī's own abridgment, which is a habit of his—not hidden from the virtuous shaykh—in many ḥadīths of the book that he mentions in some of the chapters. The abridgment can sometimes be so severe that it resembles a riddle, such as his statement in the chapter on ʿUmar ibn Miskīn: "He narrates from Nāfiʿ from Ibn ʿUmar regarding funerals."

He also missed attributing it to "al-Awsaṭ"! As for Aḥmad; he narrated it through another route from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb; he said (2/215):
