With this same chain, Ibn Abī Shaybah recorded it in al-Muṣannaf (12/183–184/12482), in an abridged form and with similar wording.

Abū Yaʿlā (13/398/7401), al-Bazzār (3/317/2838), in suspended form, al-Ṭabarānī (2/134/1549), and al-Bayhaqī in Dalāʾil al-Nubuwwah (5/353) also recorded it through routes from Yazīd ibn Hārūn, with the same chain.

From al-Ḥārith ibn Yazīd, from al-Ḥārith ibn Abī Dhibāb—if Allah wills—from Muḥammad ibn Jubayr ...

I say: This is how it appears in al-Musnad: “... Ibn Abī Dhibāb.” It likewise appears in Aṭrāf al-Musnad (2/186–187/2073) by Ibn Ḥajar (1). In al-Ṭabarānī it reads: “... Ibn Abī
