It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). Hanash said: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was holding the ring of the door, saying: "O people, whoever knows me knows me, and whoever does not know me (let him know that) I am Abu Dharr. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The example of the People of my House among you is like the ark of Nuh (peace be upon him): whoever boarded it was saved, and whoever stayed behind from it perished.'" In another chain it is narrated from Abu al-Tufayl that he saw Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) standing at the door, calling out: "O people, do you know me? Whoever knows me knows me, and whoever does not know me, (let him know that) I am Jundub, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I am Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The example of the People of my House among you is like the ark of Nuh (peace be upon him): whoever boarded it was saved, and whoever stayed behind from it drowned. And indeed the example of the People of my House among you is like the Gate of Hittah (the gate of repentance of the Children of Israel).'"
Al-Bazzar recorded it through al-Hasan bin Abi Ja'far, Ali bin Zayd and Sa'id bin al-Musayyib from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), and mentioned in it words just like the hadith of Hanash.
