Technical note / Defect ('illah): (2) In manuscript (Z) it reads "Ya'la bin 'Ata' from 'Abdullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Amr", and what we have established is taken from (S) and (M).

Grading: (3) Its chain can possibly be graded hasan. 'Ata', the father of Ya'la - who is al-'Amiri - is narrated from only by his trustworthy son Ya'la, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): However, there is disagreement over Shu'bah as to whether this hadith is marfu' or mawquf.

Reference / Source: It was narrated as "marfu'" by: al-Tirmidhi (1899), al-Bazzar (2394), Ibn Hibban (429), Ibn Shahin in "al-Targhib fi Fada'il al-A'mal" (298) and Abu Muhammad al-Baghawi in "Sharh al-Sunnah" (3424), by way of Khalid bin al-Harith; Bahshal in "Tarikh Wasit" (p. 45) and Abu Ya'la al-Khalili in "al-Irshad" (179), by way of Zayd bin Abi al-Zarqa'; Bahshal (p. 45) by way of 'Asim bin 'Ali; al-Tabarani (14368), al-Bayhaqi in "al-Shu'ab" (7445) and Abu al-Hasan al-Khil'i in "al-Khil'iyyat" (943), by way of al-Qasim bin Sulayman al-Sawwaf; Abu al-Shaykh in "al-Fawa'id" (28), by way of Abu Ishaq al-Fazari; Abu Ya'la al-Khalili in "al-Irshad" 2/ 805 and al-Bayhaqi (7446), by way of al-Husayn bin al-Walid; and Ibn Battah in "al-Ibanah al-Kubra" 7/ 128 and al-Bayhaqi (7447), by way of Abu 'Attab al-Dallal Sahl bin Hammad; all seven of them from Shu'bah, with this chain. And al-Qasim bin Sulaym, in his narration, paired Hushaym with Shu'bah.

Reference / Source: It was narrated as "mawquf" by Ibn Wahb in "al-Jami'" (92 - Abu al-Khayr) from Sufyan al-Thawri; al-Bukhari in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (2) from Adam bin Abi Iyas; al-Tirmidhi after (1899) by way of Muhammad bin Ja'far; and al-Baghawi in "Sharh al-Sunnah" (3423) by way of al-Nadr bin Shumayl; all four of them from Shu'bah, in the same way.

Reference / Source: Bahshal (p. 45) recorded it from Zakariyya bin Yahya bin Subayh, and al-Khatib in "al-Jami' li-Akhlaq al-Rawi" (1698) by way of Surayj bin Yunus; both of them from Hushaym, from Ya'la bin 'Ata', in the same way as "mawquf".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In the printed edition of "Tarikh Wasit" some text is missing, which can be restored from here.

Corroborating chains and supporting reports: On this topic there is a narration from Abu Hurayrah in al-Tabarani's "al-Awsat" (2255), and its chain is weak.
