This is a hadith about which people were confused, so some of them narrated it on the authority of Abu al-Zubayr, on the authority of Jabir, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with a chain of transmission traceable to the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, with a chain of transmission traceable to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
