It was also recorded by al-Ṭaḥāwī (3753), Ibn Ḥibbān (6198), al-Ṭabarānī in *al-Awsaṭ* (2787) and (8533), al-Bayhaqī 4/156, and Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr 13/148 via the chain of Rawḥ ibn al-Qāsim, from Ismāʿīl ibn Umayyah, from him.

It was also recorded as *mursal* by ʿAbd al-Razzāq in his *Tafsīr* 2/232, and via him by al-Ṭabarī in his *Tafsīr* 8/230. Al-Ṭabarī likewise recorded it in 8/230 via the chain of Muḥammad ibn Thawr al-Ṣanʿānī — both of them (ʿAbd al-Razzāq and Ibn Thawr) narrating from Maʿmar ibn Rāshid, from Ismāʿīl ibn Umayyah.

On this topic, there is also a report from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh recorded by Aḥmad (4160), al-Bazzār (1844), al-Ṭabarī in his *Tafsīr* 8/230 and 14/50, al-Ṭaḥāwī in *Sharḥ al-Mushkil* (3755), (3756), and (3757), Ibn Ḥibbān (6197), and al-Ḥākim 2/320 and 340–341. The chain of al-Ṭabarī in the second passage and of al-Ṭaḥāwī in the third passage is strong. The wording according to al-Ṭaḥāwī is: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while in the *Ḥijr*, said: "These are the people of Ṣāliḥ. Allah, mighty and majestic, destroyed them, except for a man who was in the sanctuary of Allah, mighty and majestic, and Allah protected him from Allah's punishment." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, who is he?" He said: "Abū Righāl."

And in the narration of some of them: "When he went out, what had befallen his people befell him."
