First: Abū Hurayrah.
From him the ḥadīth comes through three routes:
1 – Through al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib, from him. Al-Bukhārī recorded it (3/49); Muslim (4/126); Abū Dāwūd (1/318); al-Nasāʾī (1/114); Ibn Mājah (1/430); Aḥmad (2/234, 238, 278); and al-Khaṭīb (9/222) by several chains.
2 – Through Ibn Wahb: “ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Jaʿfar narrated to me that ʿImrān ibn Abī Anas related to him that Salmān al-Agharr related it to him”—and the second wording is his. Muslim alone recorded this route.
3 – Through Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr, from Abū Salamah, from him. It was transmitted by al-Dārimī (1/330) and Aḥmad (2/501); both said: “Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated it to us,” from him. This chain is sound; its narrators are those relied upon by the Six, except that Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr is cited by al-Bukhārī only alongside another narrator and by Muslim as supporting evidence.

Second: Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī.
From him there are four routes:
1 – Through Qazaʿah, from him. Al-Bukhārī recorded it (4/62–63, 195) and Muslim (4/102); the second narration
