Its isnad is sahih. Nasr bin Ali Azdi is Jahdami, the shaykh of the authors of the six books, and he is trustworthy. His account was mentioned earlier at 576. Bishr bin Mufaddal bin Lahiq is trustworthy. Ahmad said, "He is the ultimate reference for precision in Basra." The hadith is abridged at 880, see also 895. It is among the additions of Abdullah.
