The first hadith was narrated by Al-Tirmidhi with a weak chain of transmission but was graded hasan (good) by Al-Albani. As for the second wording, it has not been reported. The third wording was narrated in Musnad Al-Shihab and Musannaf Abd Al-Razzaq, but it is weak. Other wordings have also been reported, all of which are weak. Therefore, only the first wording of the hadith is authenticated.
