And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, saying: Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us. (Another chain:) And Zuheir ibn Harb narrated it to me, saying: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us. Both of them (narrated) from Abu Malik, from his father, that he heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Whoever affirms the oneness of Allah..." Then he mentioned something similar to it.
