What is the authenticity of the hadith of Wathilah in which he said that a man complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of pain in his throat, and he said: (Read the Qur'an)?

The questioner : My Shaykh, there is a hadith, may Allah honor you, in al-Bayhaqi’s work, from the hadith of Wa’il and Wathilah ibn al-Ash‘ath.

The Shaykh : Wathilah?

The questioner : Wathilah, excuse me, Wathilah.

The Shaykh : Wathilah.

The questioner : Yes, Wathilah. This hadith, my Shaykh, says that a man complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of pain in his throat, and he said: Do you remember, my Shaykh, the authenticity of this hadith?

The Shaykh : No, by Allah.

The questioner : Do you remember?

The Shaykh : I do not remember its authenticity, and I find it unlikely.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Where is this in al-Tabarani?

The questioner : No, it is attributed in a treatise, a treatise on medicine, the attribution is under al-Bayhaqi, so al-Bayhaqi is unclear, it is not clearly specified. Where is al-Bayhaqi? In "al-Shu‘ab," in "al-Sunan," or in "al-Dala'il"?

The Shaykh : It is not specified.

The questioner : No, it is not specified. Yes, but he only said from the hadith of Wathilah.

The Shaykh : Allah knows best. This would be in "al-Shu‘ab."

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : In any case, we mentioned it tomorrow so that we can review it.

The questioner : If Allah wills, my Shaykh.
