What is the ruling on the hadith regarding the adhan in the ear of the newborn?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith regarding the adhan for the newborn is authentic.

The Shaykh : This has a story. The hadith regarding the adhan in the ear of the newborn is narrated in Sunan al-Tirmidhi with a weak chain. We strengthened the part related to the adhan, because it includes both the adhan and the iqamah.

The questioner : The iqamah is weak.

The Shaykh : Not by saying it is detailed. The hadith in al-Tirmidhi includes both the adhan and the iqamah.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : This hadith, which includes the adhan and the iqamah, has a weak chain. We found that for the adhan, excluding the iqamah, there is a corroborating narration from the hadith of Ibn Abbas, mentioned by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah in his specific book called al-Tuhfah.

The questioner : The adhan is authentic, authentic only in itself.

The Shaykh : You need to be patient with me.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh :
and your patience is not but through Allah وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
[An-Nahl 16:127]
It includes the adhan and the iqamah because the chain is the same, but we found that for the adhan only, excluding the iqamah, there is a corroborating narration mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah in the aforementioned book, which he attributed to Shu'ab al-Iman by al-Bayhaqi.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Shu'ab al-Iman by al-Bayhaqi was not printed at that time, and when Ibn al-Qayyim attributed it to Shu'ab, he explicitly stated that its chain is weak. So I raised the rank of the adhan found in the hadith of al-Tirmidhi.
