This narration from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) is also transmitted with another chain of narration.
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Imam Awza'i heard this narration from Zuhri. He also heard this narration from Zuhri through Ibrahim bin Marah, so both of its chains are preserved.
