Commentary:
Note:
(Based on corroborating narrations and supporting evidence, this hadith is sahih li-ghayrihi (authentic due to external factors). Otherwise, Hasan al-Basri did not hear (this hadith) directly from Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu; he has narrated it from him with tadlis (concealment of the intermediary). See al-Sahihah: 8909.)
