as al-Ḥāfiẓ stated in al-Fatḥ (9/579). I had previously traced it in al-Rawḍ al-Naḍīr (823), under the hadith of ʿĀʾishah. I then found two further routes for it.

The first is narrated by Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar al-Madanī: Manṣūr ibn Abī al-Aswad narrated to us from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Hurayrah, with the same report. Al-Ḥākim recorded it (4/137) and authenticated it, and al-Dhahabī agreed with him. I say: Its chain of transmission is good.

One day, I came and entered upon him, and he said...” He then mentioned the hadith, but without the additional wording.

However, Ḥammād ibn Zayd corroborated him: Salm al-ʿAlawī narrated to us ... with the wording:
