Note / Clarification: This had dropped out of the manuscripts, and we have restored it from the source works. Another report is also narrated through this chain, whose takhrij preceded at hadith number (5807).

Grading: This chain can, Allah willing, be regarded as "hasan" because of Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Yazid bin Sayfi bin Suhayb. Discussion of him preceded at (5770). After mentioning his narrations, Ibn Adi said (7/ 169): "Yusuf narrates these hadiths from his father, from his grandfather, and they are tolerable (acceptable)."

Reference / Source: Abu Muhammad al-Hasan bin Ahmad al-Makhladi narrated it in "al-Fawa'id al-Muntakhabah" (293), and by his route Ibn Asakir in "Tarikh Dimashq" (24/ 219), from Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Hamdun bin Khalid, from Abu al-Zinba' Rawh bin al-Faraj, with this same chain.
Note / Clarification: In the printed edition of Ibn Asakir the mention of "Sayfi" has dropped out, and it should be restored from al-Makhladi's book.

Reference / Source: Al-Bazzar (2103) narrated it from Ibrahim bin Abd Allah bin al-Junayd, and al-Tabarani in "al-Mu'jam al-Kabir" (7303) (and by his route al-Diya' al-Maqdisi in "al-Ahadith al-Mukhtarah" (8/ 70)) from Yahya bin Ayyub al-Allaf al-Misri. Both of them narrate from Yusuf bin Adi, with this same chain.
Details of the narration: But the wording of al-Bazzar's narration is: "I accompanied the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before he entered Madinah!"

Reference / Source: Ibn Adi narrated it in "al-Kamil" (7/ 169) via Ya'qub bin Humayd bin Kasib, from Yusuf bin Muhammad, with this same chain.
