Note: In his commentary on Musnad al-Ḥumaydī, Ḥusayn Asad al-Dārānī attributed this hadith to Muslim in his Ṣaḥīḥ.

I say: Yes, but through a route other than this one.

Muslim’s narration through Abū Hurayrah has already been mentioned; it includes an account concerning Abū Dharr.

As for the hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās:

Al-Tirmidhī (2/264–265), al-Nasāʾī (1/199), and others narrated it. Its sources have been documented in al-Taʿlīq al-Raghīb (2/260), where I explained the weakness of its chain of transmission and that its text contains what is objectionable.

As for the hadith of Ibn ʿUmar:

Al-Bazzār (3094) narrated it through Mūsā ibn ʿUbaydah, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dīnār, from Ibn ʿUmar … and related it in full. Al-Bazzār then said:

“Its hidden defect is Mūsā ibn ʿUbaydah.”

Al-Haythamī likewise declared it defective in al-Majmaʿ (10/101).

I later found two mursal routes for the hadith in Muṣannaf ʿAbd al-Razzāq (3181 and 3185), from ʿAṭāʾ and from Qatādah.

In sum, the hadith is highly authentic, and the variation in some of its wordings does not affect it in any way.

All praise is due to Allah for granting success; and I ask Him, Glorified is He, for further bounty. *
