Brief Explanation
Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah said in the narration, "I think it is from Abu Salamah," meaning that the intermediary of Abu Salamah is based on conjecture ("zanni"). Due to this, there is some weakness in the chain (the possibility of discontinuity). However, since the text is strong in terms of reasoning, and it is supported by authentic hadith and verse, therefore this athar is acceptable.
