This is a good and strange hadith. This hadith was narrated on the authority of Mahmoud bin Labid, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, on the authority of a mursal. Ali bin Hijr, he said: Ismail bin Jaafar informed us, on the authority of Amr bin Abi Amr, on the authority of Asim bin Omar bin Qatada, on the authority of Mahmoud bin Labid, on the authority of The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, did something similar, but he did not mention it on the authority of Qatada bin al-Nu’man. Abu Issa said: Qatada bin al-Nu’man al-Dhafri is my father’s brother. Saeed Al-Khudri to his mother, and Mahmoud bin Labid approached the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and saw him when he was a young boy.
