Hadith Authentication: The chain of narration for this report is weak. ◈ Hakim bin Shurayk al-Hudhali is majhool (unknown). See: [تقريب التهذيب 1475] He has only been declared trustworthy (thiqah) by Ibn Hibban. ◈ Besides Sunan Abi Dawud, this narration is also found with the same chain in Sahih Ibn Hibban [الاحسان : 79], Musnad Ahmad [1؍30], Al-Mustadrak of Al-Hakim [1؍85 ح287], Al-Tarikh al-Kabir of Al-Bukhari [3؍15], and Al-Sunnah by Ibn Abi Asim [330].
