It is also related through Safīnah, the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abū al-Qāsim al-Baghawī and Abū Yaʿlā al-Mawṣilī said:
“Al-Qawārīrī narrated to us; Yūnus ibn Arqam narrated to us; Muṭayr ibn Abī Khālid narrated to us, from Thābit al-Bajali, from Safīnah, the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said:
