(Al Moudu’aat; Ibn Jouzi, 2/20)

 

It must be remembered that this narration has been mentioned by ibn Jouzi, Allama Jalaaludeen Suyutwi Radi Allah ‘Anhu and also Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlwi Radi Allah ‘Anhu in the subject of Moud’aat or doubtful. (Al Moudo’aat, 2/200; Ma Thabata bis Sunnah, pg. 24)

 

However, a very important point also needs to be remembered is that Allama Jalaaludeen Suyutwi Radi Allah ‘Anhu has also admitted that the narrators of this Hadith Shareef are authentic and became authentic when later narrators appeared to make the Sanad of this Hadith Shareef more powerful and concrete.
