Al-`Adawee reported the other wording which replaces the word millati for the word sunnati. He menttioned that the latter was according to 'Abu Dăwood's report, page 546 of volume 3. He said it was sound, and that it was also reported by Ibn Măjah, #1550; At-Tirmithi, page 146 of volume 4, who said it was strange, speaking of the channel that reached him; Al-Bayhaqi, 55/4; and 'Al-Hăkim, 366/1, who said it sound according to the conditions of Al-Bukhări and Muslim. 'At-thahabi agreed.
