Qutaiba narrated to us, he said: Jarir narrated to us from Ata bin Saib, similar to the hadith of Abu Al-Ahwas, and the other students of Ata did not narrate it as marfu’. This is more correct.
`With this chain as well, a similar hadith is narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and (Abu Al-Ahwas) did not narrate it as marfu'. This narration is more authentic than that of Ubaidah bin Humaid. Similarly, Jarir and several others have narrated it from Ata bin Sa'ib as non-marfu'.`
