al-Awsaṭ" (7/222/6430), and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (8/320), and al-Aṣbahānī in "al-Targhīb" (2/726/1766) from Idrīs ibn Yaḥyá al-Khūlānī who said: ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAyyāsh ibn ʿAbbās al-Qutbānī narrated to me from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sulaymān al-Ṭawīl from Nāfiʿ from Ibn ʿUmar who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ... and he mentioned it. al-Ṭabarānī and Abū Nuʿaym said: "Idrīs ibn Yaḥyá was the only one to narrate it." I say: He is trustworthy. Ibn Abī Ḥātim said about him: "Truthful, Abū Zurʿah said: A righteous man from the virtuous Muslims." Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt," and said (8/133): "His ḥadīth is sound." The rest of the narrators are trustworthy and well-known from the narrators of "al-Tahdhīb"; except for ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sulaymān al-Ṭawīl, who was referenced by al-Bukhārī and Ibn Abī Ḥātim through the narration of a group of trustworthy individuals—among them al-Layth ibn Saʿd—and Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" (7/41), so the isnād is good. As for what Ibn Abī Ḥātim transmitted in "al-ʿIlal" (1/243-244/712); that he asked his father about this ḥadīth? He said: "This is a rejected ḥadīth"! I do not know its reason, especially since it has a corroborating narration from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, raised to the Prophet, with the wording: "The pre-dawn meal is a blessed meal, so do not abandon it, even if one of you takes a sip of water; for indeed, Allāh and His angels send blessings upon those who partake in the pre-dawn meal."
