Grading: Its chain is "hasan" because of 'Amr al-Asamm (he is also called 'Amr bin al-Asamm and 'Amr bin 'Abd Allah bin al-Asamm). He is one of the senior Successors and narrates from 'Ali, Ibn Mas'ud, Masruq and al-Hasan bin 'Ali. Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat" and said: "The people of Kufa narrated from him." Ibn al-Athir said in "Usd al-Ghabah" (3/ 746): "He lived in the Jahiliyyah."
Identification of the narrator: Abu Ishaq: he is 'Amr bin 'Abd Allah al-Sabi'i.

Reference / Source: Abu al-Qasim al-Baghawi narrated it in "al-Ja'diyyat" (2523), and via him Ibn 'Asakir (42/ 588); and Abu Bakr al-Qati'i in his additions to "Fada'il al-Sahabah" (1128) from 'Abd Allah bin al-Hasan al-Harrani; both of them (al-Baghawi and 'Abd Allah bin al-Hasan) narrate it from 'Ali bin al-Ja'd, with this chain.

Reference / Source: Ibn Sa'd (6/ 379), Harb bin Isma'il in "al-Masa'il" (3/ 1181) and al-Ajurri in "al-Shari'ah" (2016) narrated it via several routes from Zuhayr bin Mu'awiyah.

Reference / Source: Ibn Sa'd (3/ 37) and al-Baladhuri in "Ansab al-Ashraf" (3/ 261) narrated it via Hajjaj bin Artah; and Ibn Sa'd (3/ 37) and Ibn 'Asakir via Mutarrif bin Tarif; both of them narrate it from Abu Ishaq al-Sabi'i, with this chain.

Reference / Source: 'Abd Allah bin Ahmad narrated it in his additions to the "Musnad" (2/ 1266) from 'Uthman bin Abi Shaybah, from Sharik al-Nakha'i, from Abu Ishaq al-Sabi'i, from 'Asim bin Damrah, from al-Hasan bin 'Ali.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In this narration the teacher of Abu Ishaq is named "'Asim bin Damrah" (who is one of the well-known companions of 'Ali).
Preponderant view: But the "correct" position is that the teacher of Abu Ishaq in this report is "'Amr bin al-Asamm", as Zuhayr bin Mu'awiyah, Mutarrif bin Tarif and Hajjaj bin Artah narrated it from Abu Ishaq.
Note: A similar narration, from the statement of Ibn 'Abbas, refuting those who believe in the "raj'ah" (return to the world) of 'Ali, has passed at no. (3087) with a "sahih chain".
