and the narration is with ‘an‘anah,
There is a corroborating narration (shahid) for this from the hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari radi Allahu anhu,

Hadith Authentication:
Its chain of narration is weak.
◄ In it, both Ibn Jurayj and Abu’z-Zubayr al-Makki are mudallis, and the narration is through «عن», therefore this chain is weak.
◄ In [الانتقاء لابن عبدالبر ص20], there is also a disconnected (i.e., weak) corroborating narration for it.
Benefit:
When this narration is weak, then there is no need to say, “By this is meant so-and-so or so-and-so.”
◄ It is absolutely correct that Imam Malik was a very great and trustworthy Imam, and ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar al-‘Umari was also trustworthy, but first it is necessary for the hadith to be authentic; only after that can the jurisprudence of the hadith be considered.
