IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-217: ITQAN (TEKUN) DALAM SETIAP PEKERJAAN
What is the grading of the hadith that Allah loves it when a person performs any work with itqan (diligence and excellence)?
Short answer
The hadith is judged to be mildly weak (dhaif) but can rise to the level of hasan because a supporting narration (shahid) is recorded by Imam al-Baihaqi.

Summary
The hadith is judged to be mildly weak (dhaif) but can rise to the level of hasan because a supporting narration (shahid) is recorded by Imam al-Baihaqi. Its weakness stems from the narrator Mus'ab bin Thabit, who is disputed: Ibn Hibban considered him reliable while a group of scholars graded him weak. The hadith's meaning is that Muslims are urged to be diligent and earnest in every task and act of worship.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
kami berpandangan bahawa hadith tersebut adalah dhaif yang ringan dan boleh menjadi hasan disebabkan terdapat sokongan pada hadith atau riwayat tersebut.
