It is transmitted through Yaḥyā ibn Muslim, from al-Ḥasan and ʿAṭāʾ, from Jābir, traced back to the Prophet with the same wording.

Yaḥyā ibn Muslim is al-Baṣrī. Abū Zurʿah said of him, “I do not know who he is.” Al-Dhahabī states in al-Mīzān, “Unknown; the only person to narrate from him is ʿAbd al-Munʿim ibn Nuʿaym.” So he said. The hadith appears in al-Tirmidhī through this very ʿAbd al-Munʿim, who reported, “Yaḥyā ibn Muslim narrated it to us …,” and al-Tirmidhī commented, “We do not know it except by this route, through the narration of ʿAbd al-Munʿim; its chain is obscure.”

Al-Ḥākim recorded it through ʿAbd al-Munʿim ibn Nuʿaym al-Riyāhī: “ʿAmr ibn Fāʾid al-Aswarī narrated to us; Yaḥyā ibn Muslim narrated to us …,” and al-Ḥākim remarked, “No one in its chain has been disparaged except ʿAmr ibn Fāʾid; the rest are shaykhs of Baṣrah.” Al-Dhahabī responded, “I say: al-Dāraqutnī judged ʿAmr ibn Fāʾid to be discarded (matrūk).”

I say: The ʿAbd al-Munʿim ibn Nuʿaym al-Riyāhī in al-Ḥākim’s isnād is the very same ʿAbd al-Munʿim ibn Nuʿaym found in al-Tirmidhī’s chain. Yet in all the sources I possess I have not seen him labeled “al-Riyāhī,” whether with a tāʾ or a bāʾ; they describe him instead as “al-Aswarī,” and he too is discarded, as noted in al-Taqrīb. If matters are as I have just explained, then ʿAbd al-Munʿim himself has wavered—at one time transmitting directly from Yaḥyā ibn Muslim and at another by way of ʿAmr ibn Fāʾid—so the chain is a succession of weak narrators, and one is left astonished at the claim
