Grading: It is sahih as mawquf on Ibn Abbas, but this chain is soft (layyin) because of Ayyub bin Sulayman al-Jazari, for he is unknown and no criticism or praise of him has been transmitted.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): He erred in making it marfu'; what is preserved from Ata' is that it is mawquf on Ibn Abbas. Also, Yahya bin Ayyub al-Allaf erred and inserted "Rabi'ah bin Abi Abd al-Rahman" between Ayyub and Ata'.

Technical note / Defect ('illah): Muhammad bin Amr bin Khalid differed from Yahya, in al-Khatib al-Baghdadi's "al-Muttafiq wa al-Muftariq" (232), narrating it from his father, from Ayyub bin Sulayman, who said: I entered upon Ata'; and he mentioned a story about his asking about divorce, and mentioned this report in it.

Reference / Source: Likewise al-Dulabi recorded it in "al-Kuna wa al-Asma'" (619) via al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin A'yan, and Muhammad bin Sa'id al-Harrani in "Tarikh al-Raqqah" (301) and al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" (11467) via Ahmad bin Abd al-Malik bin Waqid al-Harrani, both from Ayyub bin Sulayman: that he entered upon Ata' and asked him.

Reference / Source: Ibn Jurayj narrated it from Ata' bin Abi Rabah, from Ibn Abbas, as mawquf, his own saying. It was recorded by Abu Qurrah Musa bin Tariq (as in the hafiz Ibn Hajar's "Taghliq al-Ta'liq" 4/ 449), Abd al-Razzaq (11448), Ibn Abi Shaybah (5/ 16), Ahmad bin Hanbal in "Masa'il Ibnihi" (1320), and al-Bayhaqi in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" (7/ 320) and "Ma'rifat al-Sunan wa al-Athar" (14611).
Grading: The hafiz Ibn Hajar said: This is the most authentic chain reported on this.
