Al-Baihaqee 317 also reported this narration in much the same way.
[Shaikh al-Albaanee’s addendum]
It was narrated from Khabbaab ‏,رضيُاهللُعنه concerning the Aayah:
‏﴿وَّلَُُتَط ردُُِالَّذِينَُُيَد ع ونَُُرَبَّه مُبِال غَدَاةُُِوَال عَشِ‏ يُُِّي رِيد ونَُُوَج هَهُُُۖمَاُعَلَي كَُُمِن ‏ُُحِ‏ سَاِبِِمُمِّنُشَيءُُوَمَاُ‏

{And turn not away those who invoke their Lord, morning and afternoon seeking His

“Ḥasan” chain. Ibn Jareer (14/70) reported this from Sa`eed Ibn Jubair in a “Mursal” form. And regarding the

Muḥammad Ibn `Abdul Hakeem al-Neesaapooree, and I don’t know who he is, and remaining narrators are all
reliable.”
