Assalamu aleikom brothers and sisters

I have come across a hadith that i thoutht was strong sahih hadith, as it's very popular. But, later when i searched it's chain of narration, i couldnt find a sahih ways of narration. Could someone help me to find why did some scholars like Sh.ALbani, Suyuti, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Abdilbarr degreed it as sahih, while i found two mawzu sanad and one daif...
This hadith is:
إني تارك فيكم ما أن تمسكتم به لن تضلوا ، كتاب الله وسنتي
"I leave to you the Book of Allah and my Sunnah_ and you will never go astray as long as you stick to it"

so this hadith, as all you must have read, is very famous...but I cannot find a sahih isnad for it.
1- from Hakim, al-Mustadrak, 1/93
Abbas ibn Abu Uweys, from Abu Uweys, from Sirr ibn Zayd Daylami, from Ikrima and he narrates it from Ibn Abbas
the problem in this isnad is father and son, Ibrahim ibn Abu Uweyd and Abu Uweys,
Yahya ibn Main: "They used to steal ahadith", "daif"
and other scholars of rijal declared them to be da'if.

2-from Hakim, al-Mustadrak, 1/93
Az-Zabiyy, from Saleh ibn Musa at-Talhi, from Abdulaziz ar-Rafi', from Abu Saleh, and he narrates it from Abu Hureyra,...

Saleh ibn Musa is da'if here

3- Malik, al-Muwatta, Kitab al-Qadar, 3

Yahya narrates from Malik that he heard Rasulullah, saw, saying:....
and this hadith is mursal here

4. Ibn Abdulbarr, "at-Tamhid", 24/331
Abdurrahman ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Said, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ad-dabili, from Ali ibn Zayd Farariz, from Hunayi, from Kathir ibn Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Awf, from his father and from his grandfather

Kathir ibn Abdullah was accused in fabricating ahadith, he is liar...

5. Sunan Daraqutni, 4/245
Abu Bakr ash-Shafi, from Abu Qabisa Muhammad ibn Abdurrahman, from Ibn Imara (Umar) ibn Qa'qa', from Dawud ibn Amr, from Saleh ibn Musa, from Abdulaziz ar-Rafi', from Abu Saleh, he narrates from Abu Hureyra

But strange thing is that HSaikh Albani classifies it as sahih in "Sahih Jami", 2937 and 3232, also Suyuti said "sahih" in "Miftahul-Jannah" 1/12, so did Ibn Hazm, "Al-Ihkam" 6/810,

could someone clarify if this hadith is really sahih, because i cannot understand what can make this hadith "hasan"
jazakallahu khayran!
