(9/157), and Aḥmad (2/231 and 384) from the route of ʿUmārah ibn al-Qaʿqāʿ: Abū Zurʿah—whose name is Harim ibn ʿAmr ibn Jarīr—narrated that he heard Abū Hurayrah say: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ... they mentioned it, with some adding to others, and the context is from Imām Aḥmad.
