Saʿīd al-Maqburī, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah. Aḥmad also narrated it from Ibn ʿAjlān with the wording:
“If one of you strikes someone, let him avoid the face. Do not say, ‘May Allah disfigure your face, and the face of anyone who resembles your face,’ for Allah Most High created Adam in His image.”
Aḥmad (2/251 and 434) said: Yaḥyā narrated to us, from Ibn ʿAjlān, from Saʿīd, from Abū Hurayrah, attributing it to the Prophet. This is a good chain.
Ibn Khuzaymah also narrated it in al-Tawḥīd (Oneness of God) (p. 26), and al-Bayhaqī in al-Asmāʾ wa-l-Ṣifāt (The Names and Attributes) (p. 291). Al-Bukhārī said in al-Adab al-Mufrad: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad narrated to us; he said: Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from Ibn ʿAjlān, with it—except that he stopped its attribution at Abū Hurayrah. Al-Ājurrī cited it without a chain, and al-Bukhārī narrated it through another route from Ibn ʿUyaynah, attributing it to the Prophet, while limiting it to the words: “Do not say, ‘May Allah disfigure his face.’”
It appears that Ibn ʿAjlān would at times attribute it to the Prophet and at other times stop it at Abū Hurayrah. Yet the hadith is undoubtedly attributed to the Prophet. Abū Dāwūd (2/243) narrated its first half through ʿUmar—that is, Ibn Abī Salamah—from his father, from Abū Hurayrah, attributing it to the Prophet. Its chain is good as a supporting chain.

Al-Tirmidhī (2/3) and Aḥmad (2/241) narrated it from Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah, from al-Zuhrī, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah, attributing it to the Prophet. Al-Tirmidhī said:
