Question:
What is the authenticity of the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud ("The first thing that entered the Children of Israel was deficiency...")?

Answer:
The hadith of Ibn Mas'ud regarding the Children of Israel contains some weakness, but it has other chains of transmission. As for the hadith of al- Siddiq, it is authentic; it was narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and al-Tirmidhi with a sound chain. As for the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, the compiler was lenient in it because it falls under the category of encouraging good and warning against evil, and its corroborating narrations are numerous. The explicit text of the Qur'an is sufficient:
Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israelلُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
[Al-Ma'idah: 78]. Thus, the explicit text of the Qur'an is sufficient regarding the story of the Children of Israel – may Allah grant us well-being.
