وقد روى هذا الحديث محمد بن إسحاق عن محمد بن إبراهيم عن أبي سلمة عن زيد بن خالد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وحديث أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة وزيد بن خالد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كلاهما عندي صحيح لأنه قد روي من غير وجه عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم هذا الحديث وحديث أبي هريرة إنما صح لأنه قد روي من غير وجه وأما محمد فزعم أن حديث أبي سلمة عن زيد بن خالد أصح وفي الباب عن أبي بكر الصديق وعلي وعائشة وابن عباس وحذيفة وزيد بن خالد وأنس وعبد الله بن عمرو وابن عمر وأم حبيبة وأبي أمامة وأبي أيوب وتمام بن عباس، وعبد الله بن حنظلة وأم سلمة وواثلة وأبي موسى (see TMSXV01P034B (al-Tirmidhī, Sunan al-Tirmidhī, vol. 1 p. 34)).
