Brief Explanation
This is a connected chain of narration and there is no weakness in it. Although the name of the Companion (sahabi) has not been mentioned, since all the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) are upright (‘udul), this is therefore a narration with a sound chain of transmission (sahih al-isnad). The chain is sound, and the text is also supported by corroborating evidences (shawahid).
