The questioner : The questioner says: Is the hadith: authentic?
The Shaykh : Yes, this hadith is not authentic in terms of its chain of narration. It is included in my book, or one of my books, *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da'ifah wa al-Mawdu'ah* (The Chain of Weak and Fabricated Hadiths), and the other book is *Da'if al-Jami' al-Saghir* (The Weak Hadiths in al-Jami' al-Saghir). In my opinion—and this is certainly a personal opinion, encouraged by my reliance on the science of hadith and my knowledge of the weakness of the chain in this hadith—I am bold enough to say: In my opinion, one of the narrators of this hadith made a mistake, and the well-known hadith, whose authenticity is established in al-Bukhari and Muslim, regarding the story of the two men from ‘Ara’nah, was distorted. This is a story known to all students of knowledge. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to go outside the city, drink from the urine of the camels, and treat themselves by drinking from the milk of the camels and using their urine for treatment. Indeed, they recovered. After they recovered, they became arrogant with their strength, so they killed the shepherd. You know the rest of the story. It appears that one of the narrators of this weak hadith assumed from this hadith, or deduced from this hadith, that the urine of camels is indeed a cure, so this text resulted from him. In any case, it is weak and its attribution to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not valid. Rather, whoever is using evidence should only use the story of the two men from ‘Ara’nah as evidence.
Yes.
