The ruling on a sheet circulating among women and its distribution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this poet says that this sheet has spread among women in several places. What is the authenticity of this sheet, and is it permissible to distribute it? This sheet begins with "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," and it states: From Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "I and Fatimah entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and found him weeping intensely. I said, 'May my father and mother be a ransom for you, O Messenger of Allah, what has made you weep?' He said (peace and blessings be upon him), 'O 'Ali, I saw women from my Ummah in severe punishment, so I disapproved of their state.'"
The Shaykh:
Well, who narrated it? Who attributed it to him?
The questioner:
It was not attributed to any source; rather, a certain association distributed it in a certain neighborhood.
The Shaykh:
It was not attributed to the books of the Sunnah? This is a hadith with no basis. If it had a basis, it would have been attributed to that basis so that we could know and refer to it. Since that is not the case, it is an invalid hadith, and it appears to be a fabrication by the Shi'ah.
The questioner:
Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this poet says that, in terms of verification, we have heard from you
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for anyone to attribute a hadith to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) without specifying where he took it from the books of the Sunnah, so that it can be known and referred to in case of doubt; one should refer to its original source. In fact, it is not permissible to attribute a fatwa or statement to a scholar unless it is proven from that scholar's words in his writings, citing the specific book, page, and line. It is not permissible to say, "The Messenger said this" or "So-and-so said that" without evidence and without proof. Yes.
