Hakim narrated it (2/576) from Abdullah Muhammad bin Yaqub, the Hafiz, who said, "Ali bin Hasan (that is, Hilali Darabjardi) narrated to us, he said, Abu Zafar Abdul-Salam bin Mutahhir narrated to us, he said, Jafar bin Sulayman narrated to us, from Thabit Bunani, from Anas bin Malik," and he related the hadith.Hakim said, "This is a hadith that is sahih according to the criteria of Muslim."Its isnad is hasan because of Abdul-Salam bin Mutahhir bin Husam Azdi, of whom Abu Hatim said, "He is truthful." He is among the narrators used by Bukhari but not among those used by Muslim.His teacher, Jafar bin Sulayman Dubai, is likewise hasan in his hadith so long as he does not contradict others, and this narration is one of those.
