Scholarly Critique

Scholar

al-Albani

Critique Type

Defective isnad (weak narrator)

Scholar Grading

Weakened by al-Albani: 'this isnad is weak; at best it might be graded hasan, but sahih? Never.'

Al-Albani in Irwa' al-Ghalil 5:310 explicitly says: 'the best one could say is it might accept being graded hasan; as for grading it sahih, that is far-fetched.' Majority scholars accept it.

Final Assessment and Source

Final Grade

Hasan at most (per al-Albani) / Sahih (per majority)
