[45] Refer to: Kenzul­Ummal, part.1, page44. The hadith there is quoted from the hadith books of An­Nisa'i and At­Tirmithi. They relate it to Jabir who reports it directly from the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family). The same hadith is recorded by At­Tirmithi who relates it to Zeid Bin Arqam. Imam Ahmed, the remarkable hadithist, records it as he relates to Zeid by two authentic series of narrators. It is recorded in page182 and 189 of the fifth vol.of his book. The same hadith is recorded by Ahmed but, this time, he relates it to bn­Abi Sheibeh and Abu­Ya'li and bn­Sa'd who, all, relate it to Abu­Sa'eed Al­Khidri. hadith 945, page47, part.1 of Kenzul­Ummal. As Al­Hakim, in his Al­Mustedrak, records the hadith in part.3, page148, he commentates: "This hadith is of authentic documentation according to the criteria followed by the two Sheiks; Ahmed and Al­Bukhari, although they did not record."
