What is the ruling on one who doubts the authenticity of the hadith (The Jews split into seventy-one sects...)?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there a doubt regarding the hadith , and does one attempt to weaken it and cast doubt on its authenticity? Is there a suspicion of the Jahmiyyah and the people of desires in this?

Answer:
This may be an ignorant person who pretends to be knowledgeable, wanting to speak about the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) while he is not proficient or skilled in this. It is not permissible for him to enter into this matter, authenticating and weakening hadiths, and grading them as good, when he does not have the qualification for this matter. The hadith of the splitting is narrated through several chains which, in their totality, necessitate the authenticity of this hadith and its supporting chains. Yes.
