It is found with Ibn Abī Shaybah in his *Muṣannaf* (8/558), and from his transmission it was also recorded by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim in *al-Zuhd* (213), ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad in his *Zawāʾid ʿalā al-Zuhd* (p. 216), Abū Yaʿlā in his *Musnad* (1620), and Ibn Ḥibbān in his *Ṣaḥīḥ* (5756), with this chain of transmission.

It was also recorded by al-Dārimī (2764), al-Bukhārī in *al-Adab al-Mufrad* (1310), Ibn Abī al-Dunyā in *al-Ṣamt* (276), Abū Yaʿlā (1637), Abū al-Qāsim al-Baghawī in *al-Jaʿdiyyāt* (2414), and al-Bayhaqī in *al-Sunan* (10/246), in *al-Shuʿab* (4881), and in *al-Ādāb* (376), through multiple paths from Sharīk, with the same content. Sharīk said in the chain of al-Dārimī: "And sometimes he said: al-Nuʿmān ibn Ḥanẓalah." Al-Bukhārī added at the end of his narration in *al-Adab*: "Then a man who was large-bodied passed by, and he said: 'This one is among them.'"

It was also recorded by al-Ṭayālisī in his *Musnad* (644), from Sharīk ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from al-Rukayn ibn al-Rabīʿ, from Ḥuṣayn ibn Qabīṣah, from ʿAmmār, raised to the Prophet. In it: "He has two faces in the Fire." He said: "This ḥadīth was also narrated by Abū Nuʿaym and others from Sharīk, from al-Rukayn, from Nuʿaym ibn Ḥanẓalah, from ʿAmmār."

And through the path of Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī, it was recorded by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim in *al-Zuhd* (214), from Sharīk, from al-Rukayn, from Qabīṣah ibn al-Nuʿmān or al-Nuʿmān ibn Qabīṣah, from ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir, raised to the Prophet.

It was also recorded as a stopped narration (mawqūf) by Abū al-Qāsim al-Baghawī in *al-Jaʿdiyyāt* (3568), and through his path by al-Baghawī in *Sharḥ al-Sunnah* (3568), from Sharīk, with the same content.

It has a supporting witness from the ḥadīth of Anas, recorded by Ibn ʿĀṣim in *al-Zuhd* (216), Abū Yaʿlā (2771) and (2772), al-Bazzār (2025), Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (280), al-Ṭabarānī in *al-Awsaṭ* (8885), Abū Nuʿaym in *al-Ḥilyah* (2/165), al-Qudāʿī in *Musnad al-Shihāb* (463), and al-Khaṭīb in *Tārīkh Baghdād* (12/103), through multiple paths from Anas.

And another from the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in *al-Awsaṭ* (6685) and Abū Nuʿaym in *al-Ḥilyah* (8/282). Its chain of transmission is very weak.

It has other supporting witnesses by which it is strengthened, mentioned by al-Mundhirī in *al-Targhīb wa al-Tarhīb* (4/31) and al-Haythamī in *Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid* (8/95).
