أخبرنا محمد بن عبد الأعلى قال حدثنا خالد عن شعبة عن سماك قال سمعت مري بن قطري

[Its isnad is hasan] Abu Dawud narrated it in the Book of Sacrifices, Chapter on Slaughtering with Marwa, no. 2824, from the hadith of Simak bin Harb, through this route. It is also in Kubra, no. 4816. Ibn Hibban graded it sahih, as did Hakim, who said it meets the criteria of Muslim, 4/240, and Dhahabi agreed with him. Shubah and Thawri also narrated it from Simak, through this route.
