Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding provisions and a mount. It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is the means (ability)?” He said: Al-Daraqutni narrated it, and Al-Hakim graded it as authentic. The stronger view is that it is mursal. Al-Tirmidhi also narrated it from the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar, but there is weakness in its chain. So what is its authenticity?
Answer:
They are all weak, but some of them corroborate others, so they fall under the category of hasan li-ghayrihi (good due to external support). The scholars have agreed on the meaning, and the basis for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Imran: 97]. So whoever has the means to the House, Hajj becomes obligatory upon him, and whoever does not have the means, there is no blame on him. So every person knows his own situation best.
