And a number of narrators corroborated ʿAmr, as mentioned in the following supporting reports:

The third: Muharib ibn Dithar, from him.

Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi recorded it in his Musnad, saying (239/1728): Shuʿbah narrated to us from Muharib, with the same report, which includes:

Al-Bukhari (1/200/705), al-Tahawi (1/125), al-Bayhaqi (3/116), Ahmad (3/299), and Ibn Abi Shaybah (1/359) also recorded it through this route.

Al-Aʿmash corroborated him from Muharib ibn Dithar with the wording:

“The man withdrew and prayed in a corner of the mosque.”

Al-Nasaʾi recorded it (1/133).

The fourth: ʿUbayd Allah ibn Miqsam, from Jabir. It includes:

“A young man from his people prayed behind him, but when it became too lengthy for the young man, he prayed and left.”

Ibn Khuzaymah (3/64/1634) and al-Bayhaqi (3/116) recorded it.

The fifth: Abu al-Zubayr, from him. Those who recorded it have already been mentioned at the beginning of this documentation. It contains additions not found in the other narrations, and I have cited its wording in The Description of the Prayer.

This is what al-Bayhaqi indicated above, and al-Hafiz clarified it when he said in al-Fath (2/194), after citing Ibn ʿAbbad’s wording:
