The Grade of the Long Hadith of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The authenticity of the hadith.
The Shaykh:
As for its chain of narration, may Allah have mercy on him, except for part of its chain, but Abu Musa al-Madini strengthened it in his book *Al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib*. The Shaykh Takiyyuddin strengthened it, and its corroborating narrations are numerous.
Another questioner:
Ibn Shihab in his extended biographical dictionary, and in its chain is Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jad'an, and there is disagreement regarding him. And al-Tabarani narrated it.
The Shaykh:
But with Ali and Amr ibn Jar, who is trustworthy, the author mentioned here that he narrated it from Umar ibn Dhur and Ali ibn Ziyad. Ali ibn Ziyad is weak, but Umar ibn Dhur is trustworthy, so it is like the narration of al-Shafi'i from those below them. Yes.
Another questioner:
Al-Tabarani narrated it through a path other than these two, also with a weak chain, and it is with Abu Musa al-Madini in *Al-Targhib*, and he counted it in the narration of Faraj ibn Fadalah from Hisham.
The Shaykh:
Faran from Faranah.
Another questioner:
And Ibn Fadalah narrated from Hisham Abu Jabalah, from Sa'id, and he said: "This is a very good hadith." And al-Rashid al-Attar said: "This is the best of its ends." And al-Taymi and others narrated it in its extended form. And likewise al-Baqiyan in *Fawa'id* from Abu Amr ibn Mandh, in its chain to Mujahid from Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah, and he said: "It is strange." And it was narrated from the hadith of Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Nasari and Abd al-Rahman ibn Harbala and Ali ibn Abi Zayd and others from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib. I say: Al-Dhahabi weakened the hadith in *Al-Mizan*, and al-Qadi Abu Ya'la narrated it in his book *Ibtal al-Ta'wilat li-Akhabar al-Sifat*.
The Shaykh:
Indeed, Allah, in every state, its corroborating narrations are numerous. Its corroborating narrations are numerous regarding the practice of good deeds, both verbal and physical, and that they are among the means by which Allah preserves the servant from all afflictions and protects him from Satan. So, his fear of Allah, his good opinion of Allah, and his care for prayer, fasting, and charity—all these good deeds, the more one increases in them with vigor and love, the closer one becomes to Allah and the farther one becomes from the devils, the devils of mankind and jinn. We ask Allah for success and guidance for all of us.
