Ibn Hajar notes the hadith's pivot in Bukhari is al-Layth from Sa'id al-Maqburi from Sharik from Anas; Bukhari also cited it suspended, and Muslim connected it through Sulayman ibn al-Mughira from Thabit from Anas {cite:ibn-hajar-isaba p. 714}.\n\nAt the end of the text, after his question about the grave sins, he said: \"by God we used to keep clear of them in the Jahiliyya\" — when he turned to go the Messenger of God said: \"instruct the man\" {cite:ibn-hajar-isaba p. 714}."
