third: Abū Ṣāliḥ: It was narrated by al-ʿUqaylī in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (4/29-30) through the route of Muḥammad ibn Anas from al-Aʿmash from him with it. Its men are trustworthy, except for this Muḥammad ibn Anas; al-ʿUqaylī said about him: ".. from al-Aʿmash with ḥadīths that no one else followed him on..", then he mentioned this ḥadīth.

The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) approached him, accompanied by Thābit ibn Qays ibn Shamās—and in the hand of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was a piece of palm stalk—until he stood over Musaylimah among his companions, and said:
