Malik recorded it through al-Harith ibn Fudayl from al-Zuhri, with this chain of transmission.

Likewise, it was narrated from al-Zuhri by: Yunus, al-Zubaydi, al-Awza'i, and Ishaq. It was also narrated by Shu'ayb, the nephew of al-Zuhri, and Salih ibn Kaysan from al-Zuhri, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abdullah ibn Ka'b ibn Malik, from his grandfather Ka'b. Salih stated in his narration: 'It reached him that Ka'b used to narrate...' and Shu'ayb stated in his narration: 'Indeed, Ka'b used to narrate...' Thus, according to the narration of Salih and those who agreed with him, it is munqati' (broken). Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Dhuhli mentioned that this is the preserved version (al-mahfuz), but Ibn 'Abd al-Barr disagreed with him on that and deemed the narration of Malik and those who agreed with him to be stronger. The hadith of Ka'b has indeed been reported through multiple routes.

Hammad ibn Salamah narrated from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ), where he mentioned the lengthy hadith of the grave regarding the believer, saying: "And the body is returned to that from which it originated, and his soul is placed in the breeze of a bird that grazes upon the trees of Paradise." It was recorded by al-Tabarani and others.

Ibn Hibban recorded it in his Sahih by way of Mu'tamir from Muhammad ibn 'Amr with it, and his wording is: "And his soul is placed in the pleasant breeze, which is a bird that grazes in Paradise." It was previously mentioned that others narrated it from Muhammad ibn 'Amr and stopped it at Abu Hurayrah (as mawquf).

The hadith of Umm Hani' al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) has already been mentioned from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: "The souls become birds grazing upon the trees until, when the Day of Resurrection comes, each soul enters its body."

Ibn Mandah recorded from the narration of Musa ibn 'Ubaydah al-Rabadhi, from 'Abdullah ibn Yazid, from Umm Kabshah bint al-Ma'rur (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Verily, the souls of the believers are inside green birds that roam freely in Paradise, eating from its fruits, drinking from its water, and seeking shelter in golden lamps beneath the Throne. They say: 'Our Lord, unite our brethren with us and grant us what You promised us.' And verily, the souls of the disbelievers are inside black birds that eat from the Fire, drink from the Fire, and seek shelter in stones of fire. They say: 'Our Lord, do not unite our brethren with us, and do not grant us what You promised us.'"

Musa ibn 'Ubaydah was a righteous elder whose devotion to worship distracted him from memorizing hadith, so uncorroborated narrations (al-manakir) became frequent in his hadith.

Ibn Mandah also recorded, from the narration of Mu'awiyah ibn Salih from Damrah ibn Habib, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked concerning the souls of the believers, and he said: "They are inside green birds roaming freely in Paradise wherever..." [sentence continues on the next page]
