Discussion of the hadith's chain of narration and its rank.

The Shaykh : In this hadith, there is a discussion regarding its chain of narration that the author pointed out, but he concluded that the hadith is hasan; that is, it is established at a rank below the rank of validity. This rank is known among hadith scholars as the rank of hasan. The reason is that it contains a man named Ja'far ibn Sulayman al-Du'bali, who, despite being one of the narrators in Muslim's collection, was criticized by some scholars, such as al-Daraqutni, regarding his memorization.
The truth is that when a researcher studies the biography of this narrator, Ja'far ibn Sulayman, he finds similar remarks about his weakness. However, this does not invalidate his hadith, nor does it place it in the rank of da'if (weak), which cannot be used as evidence and whose narration is not permissible unless its weakness is clarified. Rather, it lowers his hadith from the rank of validity to the rank of hasan. But I personally indicated and marked this hadith in the margin of the book as sahih (valid); and that is because I found a corroborating narration for it. With this corroboration, it rose from the rank of hasan to the rank of sahih.
