Ibn Hibban and Abd al-Haqq al-Ishbili also declared it authentic, as I mentioned in Sahih Abi Dawud (1155).

Al-Tabarani (3/207/2) narrated, from Sa'id ibn Rashid, from 'Ata', from Ibn 'Umar, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not remain seated for any hour of the night without passing the tooth-stick over his mouth. Sa'id ibn Rashid—who is al-Sammak—is abandoned, as al-Nasa'i stated. Husam ibn al-Misakk likewise narrated it, saying: “'Ata' narrated to us,” with the same chain; his wording is: “Whenever he awoke during any hour of the night, he would pass the tooth-stick over his mouth.” Ibn 'Adi transmitted it (109/1). Regarding this Husam, al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar said: “He is weak and nearly abandoned.” I say: Thus, the principal basis for strengthening this hadith is the first route.

2112 — “He would visit the weaker members of the Muslims, visit them when ill, and attend their funerals.”

Al-Hakim transmitted it (2/466), from Sufyan ibn Husayn, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf, from his father, may Allah be pleased with him, in a report attributed to the Prophet. He said: “Its chain of transmission is authentic,” and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. I say: This is open to objection, for they deemed Sufyan ibn Husayn weak specifically in his narrations from al-Zuhri, and this is one of them. However, it is supported by the hadith of Muslim al-A'war, from Anas, in a report attributed to the Prophet: “He would visit the sick, follow funeral processions, accept the invitation of a slave, and ride a donkey”
