Question:
I have the chain of the hadith with me. It says: Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, from Haywah ibn Shurayh, from Sharhabil ibn Shurayk, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Habali, from Abdullah ibn Amr, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1944Sahih (Darussalam). Abu Isa said: This is a good, isolated hadith. Is Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Habali’s name Abdullah ibn Yazid?
Answer:
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Habali is trustworthy, but in its chain is Sharhabil ibn Shurayk, and he is a subject of scrutiny.
The student: Al-Darimi and Imam Ahmad also narrated it.
The Shaykh: The marginal note?
The student: Yes, Shaykh Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut said: And its chain is authentic, and al-Hakim graded it as authentic, and al-Dhahabi agreed with him.
The Shaykh: In the marginal notes of "Riyad al-Salihin"?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh: What did he say about Sharhabil ibn Shurayk?
The student: Sharhabil ibn Shurayk, as mentioned by the author of "Al-Kamil," the correct name is: Shurayk ibn Hanbal. Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi, and others, said: Sharhabil ibn Shurayk al-Ma'afiri, Abu Muhammad, the Egyptian, and it is said: Sharhabil ibn Amr ibn Shurayk. He is reliable, from the sixth generation. (Al-Bukhari in "Al-Adab al-Mufrad," and Muslim, and Abu Dawud, and al-Tirmidhi, and al-Nasa'i).
The Shaykh: As he said, there is no harm in it, it is good.
