Al-Haythami said in al-Majmaʿ (6/269):

“Al-Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat and al-Kabir, as did al-Bazzar. Al-Tabarani’s narrators are those of the Sahih, apart from Abd al-Wahhab ibn Bakht, who is trustworthy.”

I say: Abu Abd al-Rahim was Khalid ibn Abi Yazid ibn Simak ibn Rustam, the Umayyad client from Harran.

Al-Nasa’i then narrated it through Muhammad ibn Wahb ibn Abi Karima al-Harrani, from Muhammad ibn Salama, from Abu Abd al-Rahim, who said: “Abd al-Rahim al-Zuhri narrated to me, from Ata ibn Abi Rabah,” with the same report.

Thus, he put Abd al-Rahim al-Zuhri in place of Abd al-Wahhab ibn Bakht.

This Muhammad ibn Wahb was truthful, and two corroborating reports lend support to his narration:

The first is what al-Nasa’i narrated from Saʿid ibn Hafs, who said: Musa ibn Aʿyan narrated to us, from Khalid ibn Abi Yazid—Abu Abd al-Rahim—from al-Zuhri, from Ata, with the same report.

The other is what Abu Nuʿaym narrated from Yazid ibn Sinan, from Abd al-Rahim ibn Attaf ibn Safwan al-Zuhri, from Ata, with the same report.

However, in the chain of the first corroborating report is Saʿid ibn Hafs, Abu Amr al-Harrani, who was truthful but became confused in his later years. In the other is Yazid ibn Sinan, Abu Farwa al-Ruhawi, who is weak.

Moreover, we have found no narrator named “Abd al-Rahim al-Zuhri,” let alone “Abd al-Rahim ibn Attaf ibn Safwan al-Zuhri.” Nor have they mentioned al-Zuhri among the teachers of Abu Abd al-Rahim; and when mentioned without qualification, al-Zuhri refers to the imam Muhammad ibn Muslim ibn Shihab. All of this renders Muhammad ibn Wahb’s narration less weighty, since it contradicts the two routes from Muhammad ibn Salama: one through Ishaq ibn Rahawayh, and the other through Abu al-Asbagh Abd al-Aziz ibn Yahya al-Harrani, who was truthful but sometimes erred. The former was a well-known hadith master, trustworthy and exceptionally precise.
