Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah, and Hakim narrated it from Abu Hurairah, and Suyuti indicated its soundness in Jami Saghir. Hakim and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih from the hadith of Abu Hurairah, and Tirmidhi said it is hasan sahih. He narrated it with the wording, "Whoever conceals knowledge that he knows will be bridled on the Day of Resurrection with a bridle of fire."
