حدثنا عبد الله حدثني أبي ثنا يزيد أنا مسعر عن عبيد الله بن القبطية عن جابر بن سمرة قال : كنا إذا صلينا وراء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قلنا السلام عليكم بأيدينا يمينا وشمالا فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما بال أقوام يرمون بأيديهم كأنها أذناب الخيل الشمس لا يسكن أحدهم ويشير بيده على فخذه ثم يسلم على صاحبه عن يمينه وعن شماله غير عبيد الله بن القبطية فمن رجال مسلم

إسناده صحيح على شرط مسلم رجاله ثقات رجال الشيخين

Quoted as he wrote it. It is his assessment — Hidayah24 does not grade hadith.

The printed Musnad begins with the book’s own transmission: «ḥaddathanā ʿAbd Allāh» is Aḥmad’s son ʿAbd Allāh (d. 290), who narrates the book from him, and «ḥaddathanī abī» is Aḥmad himself; the hadith’s own chain follows them.

Names are exactly as printed. A narrator is identified only where that is certain; tapping any other name searches for the possible men. Grades are the rijāl works’ — reliable narrators alone do not make a hadith ṣaḥīḥ (irregularity and hidden defects are weighed too).
