Grading: This report is sahih.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): What appears here in the chain of al-Hakim as "Khaythamah and al-Aswad" (joined with "and") is a mistake. The correct form is: "Khaythamah, who is Ibn Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Sabrah al-Ju'fi, from al-Aswad, who is Ibn Yazid al-Nakha'i", as in the sources of takhrij. Imam Ahmad stated this explicitly: "Khaythamah did not hear anything from Ibn Mas'ud; he narrates from al-Aswad from Abd Allah (bin Mas'ud)." Abu Hatim al-Razi agreed with him. (See: "Tuhfat al-Marasil", p. 98.)

Reference / Source: Abu Mas'ud bin al-Furat recorded it in his "Juz'" (14) by way of Muhammad bin Ubayd, from al-A'mash, from Khaythamah, from al-Aswad, from Abd Allah.

Reference / Source: Ibn Abi Shaybah [7/ 445 and 10/ 485] recorded it by way of Abu Mu'awiyah Abd Allah bin Numayr, from al-A'mash, from Khaythamah, from al-Aswad, in the same way.
