Al-Haythami said in al-Majmaʿ (1/144):
“Al-Bazzar narrated it, and its narrators are those of the Ṣaḥīḥ.”
The first sentence of it does not appear in his version. Its chain of transmission is authentic according to Muslim’s criteria; however, he added Yazid ibn al-Had to its chain between al-Walid and ‘Abd Allah ibn Dinar. The inclusion of Yazid ibn al-Had in it is preserved, for Haywah ibn Shurayh narrated it from Ibn al-Had, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Dinar, but only with the passage concerning filial devotion. Muslim also recorded it. It is therefore possible that al-Walid first received it from Ibn al-Had, from Ibn Dinar—as in this narration of Nafiʿ ibn Yazid—and then received it directly from Ibn Dinar—as in Haywah’s narration in Ahmad and that of Saʿid ibn Abi Ayyub in Muslim. And Allah knows best.
The point is that these authentic narrations demonstrate that this is the hadith of al-Walid, the trustworthy narrator, and not the hadith of al-ʿAbbas ibn al-Fadl, the abandoned narrator.
As for the corroborating report, it is related from Wathilah ibn al-Asqaʿ through several routes:
The first: ʿAbd al-Wahid ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Nasri said: I heard Wathilah ibn al-Asqaʿ say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said … He then related it similarly to al-Bazzar’s hadith from Ibn ʿUmar.
It was recorded by al-Bukhari (3509), Ahmad (4/106), and al-Tabarani in al-Muʿjam al-Kabir (22/70/171–180).
The second: Rabiʿah ibn Yazid said: I heard Wathilah ibn al-Asqaʿ relate the same hadith.
It was recorded by Ibn Hibban in his Ṣaḥīḥ (1/118/32—al-Ihsan), and by al-Hakim (4/398), through Ahmad—whose narration appears in al-Musnad (3/490 and 491)—and by al-Tabarani (164); all of them narrated it through Muʿawiyah ibn Salih, from him. Al-Hakim said:
