Who suggested digging the trench?

I have heard that the suggestion of Salman Farsi regarding trenches is without sanad. Is this true?

Answer:

This has been mentioned without objection by reliable Hadith commentators as well as the Seerah biographers, which points to its acceptability according to them.

Some references that mentioned the above:

Seerah Ibn Hisham, Fathul Bari, before Hadith: 4097, ‘Umdatul Qari, before Hadith: 4097 and Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah, vol. 4 pg. 97.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
