It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (1) on the authority of Musaddad.

As for Abū Khidāsh, he is Ḥibbān ibn Zayd al-Sharʿabī al-Ḥimṣī. So far as I know, no one transmitted from him except Ḥarīz, and all of his teachers have been declared wholly reliable.

His father, Yaʿqūb (2), was the judge of Madinah; he heard ḥadith from Ibn ʿUyaynah and a number of others. Those who narrated from him include Ibn Nājiyah, Qāsim al-Muṭarriz, and a group besides.

He dictated to his grandson, Abū ʿUmar Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf al-Qāḍī, a ḥadith which the latter preserved from him.

He died in Fars while serving as its judge in the year 246 AH.

He is trustworthy.
