Among its corroborating reports is that which Ibrāhīm ibn Ziyād al-Qurashī narrated from Abū Ḥāzim, from Anas ibn Mālik, attributing it to the Prophet with the same wording.

Al-Ṭabarānī recorded it in al-Muʿjam al-Ṣaghīr (p. 23) and al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ (1/170/1), and said:

Al-Haythamī said in al-Majmaʿ (4/312):

“Al-Ṭabarānī recorded it in al-Ṣaghīr and al-Awsaṭ, and it contains Ibrāhīm ibn Ziyād al-Qurashī, who—”
