Note / Clarification: The text between the brackets had dropped out of the manuscripts, while the author's discussion requires its presence. This text is found correctly in "Ithaf al-Maharah" (5497) and "Talkhis al-Dhahabi", and with the others who recorded the hadith.

Grading: This hadith too, like the previous hadith, is "hasan" on account of its routes.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): There is a problem with this chain being "mawsul" (connected): the "mahfuz" (preserved) narration from Sulayman bin Bilal is mursal (as will come below). Al-Miswar bin al-Salt narrated it as mawsul, but he is "da'if" (weak).
Reference / Source: Imam al-Bazzar (1220 - Kashf al-Astar) and Imam al-Tahawi in "Sharh Mushkil al-Athar" (1573) recorded it as "mawsul" through the route of Yahya bin Hassan, from al-Miswar bin al-Salt, from Zayd bin Aslam, from 'Ata' bin Yasar, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). Both Imam al-Bazzar and al-Tahawi indicated that the one who connected it is al-Miswar, who is weak.

Details of the narration: Then both al-Bazzar and al-Tahawi recorded it as "mursal" through the route of Yahya bin Hassan, from Sulayman bin Bilal, from Zayd bin Aslam, from 'Ata'.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Imam al-Bazzar said that no one other than al-Miswar narrated it as connected (musnad), and al-Miswar is not a "hafiz".

Reference / Source: 'Abd al-Rahman bin Mahdi also narrated this narration as "mursal" from Sulayman bin Bilal, from Zayd bin Aslam, as the author (al-Hakim) mentioned after this narration.

Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Ma'mar corroborated Sulayman bin Bilal in narrating it as "mursal"; thus Imam 'Abd al-Razzaq (8611) recorded it as "mursal" from Ma'mar, from Zayd bin Aslam.
Grading: Imam al-Daraqutni in "al-'Ilal" (1152, 2273, 3037) preferred the "mursal" over the mawsul.

Reference / Source: The author himself recorded it later at number (7790) through the route of 'Abd al-'Aziz bin 'Abd Allah al-Uwaysi, from Sulayman bin Bilal, from Zayd bin Aslam, from 'Ata', from Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him).

Reference / Source: It was recorded by Ibn 'Adi in "al-Kamil" 3/57 and Abu Nu'aym in "al-Hilyah" 8/251 through the route of Kharijah bin Mus'ab.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Kharijah bin Mus'ab (al-Sarakhsi) is a "matruk" (abandoned) narrator.
