The questioner : And secondly, O honorableThe Shaykh : , the hadith narrated by al-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim in "al-Mustadrak," and by Ibn Majah and al-Darimi: Sunan Ibn Majah 4251Hasan (Darussalam) ; in its chain is 'Ali ibn Mas'adah al-Bahili, and likewise Qatadah narrated from Anas ibn Malik using 'an'anah, so you graded it as good; what is the basis for this grading?
The Shaykh: 'Ali ibn Mas'adah is a subject of disagreement, so the assessment fluctuates between weakening his hadith and grading it as good. As for Qatadah's 'an'anah, it is generally accepted and scholars have passed over it, except when there is a hidden defect in the hadith that scholars find no place for except in Qatadah's 'an'anah; in that case, they attribute the defect to this 'an'anah. So we do not dwell much on Qatadah's 'an'anah, but 'Ali ibn Mas'adah is what makes us hesitate regarding his hadith; sometimes we grade it as good and sometimes we weaken it. The reason is the disagreement among scholars about him, with some authenticating him, some weakening him, and some rating him as intermediate. Then, looking at the meaning of the hadithSunan Ibn Majah 4251Hasan (Darussalam) ; the meaning of the hadith resonates with the general principles and broad rulings of the Shari'ah. This is the perspective on what you asked.
