(1) Its chain is sound. Yūnus: he is Ibn Yazīd al-Aylī, and al-Zuhrī: he is Muḥammad ibn Muslim ibn Shihāb. It is in al-Sunan al-Kubrā, no. (1097).
Ibn Ḥibbān also transmitted it (1767) via the route of Ḥibbān ibn Mūsā, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak, with this chain, and added at its end: Sālim said: Ibn ʿUmar used to do the same, except that he would lower his voice with the takbīr.

Aḥmad transmitted it (7657) via the route of Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, with it.
Aḥmad transmitted something similar (8253) and (9837), and al-Bukhārī (795) via the route of Saʿīd al-Maqburī, from Abū Hurayrah, with it.

It is a repetition of hadith (881), except for the shaykh of the compiler.
