Is the hadith that whoever brings someone to Islam is guaranteed paradise authentic?
Short answer
This hadith is narrated by al-Ṭabarānī, al-Quḍā’ī and al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī, but it is judged very weak because of the narration route of Muhammad bin Mu’awiyah al-Nisāburī.

Summary
This hadith is narrated by al-Ṭabarānī, al-Quḍā’ī and al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī, but it is judged very weak because of the narration route of Muhammad bin Mu’awiyah al-Nisāburī. He is an unreliable narrator whose reports were abandoned by hadith scholars, and Imam Ahmad called him a liar. His route is supported by the route of Sa’īd bin Kathīr bin ‘Ufair, which is more sound. In terms of meaning, there are more authentic hadiths on the virtue of guiding someone to Islam, including one in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru hadis ini terlalu lemah kerana jalur riwayat Muhammad bin Mu'awiyah al-Nisāburī.
