(1/120), and by Ishaq in his Musnad (695, 696, 823, and 1200), through various routes from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from her, attributed to the Prophet, with the wording:

It has been narrated from Abu Hurayrah through a group of narrators:
1–2. Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib and Abu Salamah:
Al-Bukhari narrated it (648 and 4717) from both of them; Muslim (2/122), al-Nasa’i (1/241), and Ahmad (2/233)—the latter three from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib alone—in its entirety.
Ahmad (2/266) also narrated it from Abu Salamah alone, in its entirety.
The first portion of it was narrated from Sa‘id, from him, by: Muslim (2/122), al-Tirmidhi (216), Malik (1/150), Ibn Majah (787), Ibn Khuzaymah in his Sahih (1472), Ibn Hibban (2053), Ibn Abi Shaybah (2/480), al-Darimi (1/292), Abu ‘Awanah (2/2), Ahmad (2/264, 396, and 473), and al-Bayhaqi
