Al-Dāraqutnī likewise transmitted it through the chain of Ismāʿīl ibn Muslim, from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, from Ṭāwūs, from him. Al-Tirmidhī commented:

“We do not know this narration traced back to the Prophet with this isnād except through the report of Ismāʿīl ibn Muslim, and some scholars have criticised his retention.”

I say: he was not alone in relating it; Qatādah corroborated him. Al-Bazzār brought it in his Musnad from Qatādah, from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, as stated in Nasb al-Rayah.

Al-Dāraqutnī also recorded it through the route of Abū al-Mughīrah—‘Saʿīd ibn Bashīr narrated to us from Qatādah’—with the same wording. Al-Ḥākim related it from Abū al-Jamāhir Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān: “Saʿīd ibn Bashīr narrated to us; ʿAmr ibn Dīnār narrated to us…,” omitting Qatādah between them. It is likely that Saʿīd ibn Bashīr first heard it from Qatādah and later heard it directly from ʿAmr, for he explicitly states that he heard it from him. Saʿīd himself is a matter of dispute; in my judgement his ḥadith is hasan so long as he is not contradicted, whereas al-Ḥāfiẓ ruled him weak in al-Taqrīb.

He is further supported by ʿUbayd Allāh ibn al-Ḥasan al-ʿAnbarī, who transmitted it from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār with the same content. Al-Dāraqutnī recorded this chain as well: “ʿAbd al-Bāqī ibn Qāniʿ narrated to us; al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī al-ʿUmarī narrated to us; ʿUqbah ibn Makram al-ʿAmī narrated to us; Tammār ʿUmar ibn ʿĀmir Abū Ḥafṣ al-Saʿdī—who resided among Banū Rafāʿah—narrated to us, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn al-Ḥasan al-ʿAnbarī,” with the same narration.
