“reliable, yet prone to many mursal transmissions and slips.”

For that reason I have quoted only the portion about arranging the rows, which is found in Abū Dāwūd, Daʿīf Sunan Abī Dāwūd, no. 105. Another hadith narrated by Shahr will appear later, further demonstrating his weakness and inconsistency; see our remarks under “Post-salām remembrances and supplications” on pp. 228–229.

Furthermore, his wording “ʿAbd Allah ibn Ghanm” is a mistake1; the correct name is “ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ghanm,” as in the Musnad. The author cites it elsewhere in the same form, but he also vocalizes “Ghanm” with a ḍammah, whereas it should be with a fatḥah, as noted in al-Taqrīb.
