Ibn Yahya added in his version: Ibn Shihab said in his tradition: The people do not take this (tradition) into account.

And Malik said: From al-Zuhri from 'Ubaid Allah b. 'Abd Allah from his father on the authority of 'Ammar. Abu Uwais also reported it in a similar way on the authority of al-Zuhri.
