It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (3207), Muslim (1/103-104), and Abū ʿAwānah (1/116) — and the context is his. Qatādah explicitly stated the narration in al-Bukhārī, and it is explicit that he was not asleep, but rather between sleep and wakefulness when the three men came to him and split open his chest — (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam).

(I command you with four things, and forbid you from four: belief in Allāh, then he explained it to them, saying: the testimony that there is no deity but Allāh, and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh — and he gestured one —, establishing prayer, giving zakāh, and that you give a fifth of what you gain, and I forbid you from using gourds, jars, hollowed stumps, and coated vessels). It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (1/129/53- "Fatḥ al-Bārī"), Muslim (1/35), Abū Dāwūd (4/94/3692), al-Tirmidhī (2611), al-Nasāʾī (2/272), and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Sunan" (6/294-295 and 303) and in "Shuʿab al-Īmān" (1/50-51) and in "Dalāʾil al-Nubuwwah" (3/323-324), all from the route of Abū Jamrah from Ibn ʿAbbās who said: The delegation of ʿAbd al-Qays came to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), and they said: O Messenger of Allāh! We are — this group — from Rabīʿah, and the disbelievers of Muḍar have come between us and you, so we cannot reach you except in the sacred month, so command us with something we can act upon and call those behind us to it? He said: ... and he mentioned it. It has a supporting narration from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī with a similar meaning. It was recorded by Muslim (1/36), and al-Bayhaqī in "Dalāʾil al-Nubuwwah" (5/326), and Aḥmad (3/22/23).
