“Weak in retention.”

It has another supporting narration from Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, whose documentation was given earlier in the third volume, no. 1407.

Note: Regarding the wording, “Have you decomposed?” Al-Harbi said: “This is how the hadith scholars pronounce it, but I do not know the basis for it. The correct wording is: ‘when you have become decayed,’ that is, when you have become reduced to decayed bones, as Allah Most High says: ‘Who will give life to the bones when they have decayed?’” See my annotation to Sahih al-Targhib wa-al-Tarhib (1/293).
