Summary
The hadith is cited by al-Alusi in Ruh al-Ma'ani and by al-Suyuti in al-Durr al-Manthur, both attributing it to al-Khatib al-Baghdadi in Tarikh Baghdad. According to the well-known view among hadith scholars, a narration found only in that book is considered weak (daif). The ruling is supported by a verse from Manzumah Tal'ah al-Anwar, which states that narrations attributed to al-Khatib al-Baghdadi and several other sources are widely known to be weak.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Suatu yang masyhur dalam kalangan ulama hadis, jika terdapat riwayat yang hanya terdapat dalam kitab Tarikh Baghdad tulisan al-Khatib al-Baghdadi, maka ia menunjukkan riwayat tersebut adalah daif (lemah).
