The narration regarding the and in the ear of a newborn has only been attributed to the aforementioned Musnad, and the absence of this narration from all reliable collections (, Sunan, and Musnad) - except for Musnad Ibn Razin - is sufficient to deem it weak. As for the Adhan in the ear of a newborn, that is authentic.
