Azami 1991

Muslim reported it in the Book of Prayer (456) via the route of Ibn Bishr, from Masaar, who said, Walid bin Sarih narrated to me, from Amr bin Hurayth, and he mentioned the hadith. Muslim also reported it in the Book of Prayer (475) from Muhriz bin Awn bin Abu Awn, who said, Khalaf bin Khalifa Ashjai, Abu Ahmad, narrated to us, from Walid bin Sarih, freedman of the family of Amr bin Hurayth, from Amr bin Hurayth, who said, "I prayed the Fajr behind the Prophet ﷺ and heard him recite, "So verily I swear by the retreating stars, that move swiftly and hide themselves" [Takwir 81:15–16], and none of us would bend his back until he had fully completed the prostration."Abu Dawud (816) and Ibn Majah (817) both reported it via the route of Ismail bin Abu Khalid, from Asbagh, freedman of Amr bin Hurayth, from Amr bin Hurayth, who said, "I can almost still hear the voice of the Prophet ﷺ reciting in the morning prayer, "So verily I swear by the retreating stars, that move swiftly and hide themselves" [Takwir 81:15–16]."In the chain is Asbagh, whom Ibn Main and Nasai declared trustworthy, while Ibn Hibban said, "He changed toward the end of his life, to the point that he was shackled in iron, and his reports may not be relied upon except after careful scrutiny." Ibn Jarud and Aqeeli also mentioned him among the weak narrators.I say, no report from his freedman is recorded of him in the books other than this hadith, and he was correct in narrating it, for he was corroborated by Walid bin Sarih, from his freedman, as already noted with Muslim and Nasai (2/157).
