Commentary:
Note:
(In the chain of narration, both Abu Hamzah Thabit bin Abi Safiyyah al-Thumali and Sharik bin Abdullah al-Qadi are weak narrators.
Furthermore, this narration is also contrary to the hadith that will be mentioned ahead,
regarding which Imam Tirmidhi has ruled that it is more authentic than the narration of Sharik.)
