Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَتْ . فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَقْوَى هَذِهِ الأَحَادِيثِ حَدِيثُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ وَالْبَاقِيَةُ ضِعَافٌ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been narrated by Anas bin Malik through a different chain of narrators. He mentioned similar words. Abu Dawud said “the strongest of these traditions is the one of Sa’id bin Abu Al Hasan. The rest are weak.
