No one has addressed the authenticity or weakness of this narration. However, Ibn Abi Hatim and Al-Baghawi transmitted it, and a group of exegetes, such as Ibn Atiyyah and Abu Hayyan, quoted it from Al-Tabari. Ibn Hajar also alluded to it in Al-Isabah, and none of them impugned its chain of transmission (sanad).
