More than one person narrated it to us from Safwan ibn Salih. We know it only through the narration of Safwan ibn Salih, who is regarded as trustworthy by hadith scholars. This hadith has also been narrated through other routes from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); however, in most of the narrations, we do not know of a sound chain that mentions the names except in this hadith. Adam ibn Abi Iyas also narrated this hadith through another chain from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and mentioned the names in it, but its chain is not sound.’
