IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-546 : SUAMI ISTERI YANG BANGUN MALAM AKAN DIAMPUNKAN OLEH ALLAH
Is the hadith authentic that a husband and wife who wake each other for night prayer, even by sprinkling water, will be forgiven by Allah?
Short answer
The hadith is narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its chain is weak because Hasyim bin Marthad and Muhammad bin Ismail were criticised as weak narrators.

Summary
The hadith is narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its chain is weak because Hasyim bin Marthad and Muhammad bin Ismail were criticised as weak narrators. However, it is supported by narrations through Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri with similar meaning and a stronger standing. With this support, the hadith is raised from weak to hasan lighairih.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam al-Tabarani yang asalnya lemah (ḍa'īf) terangkat menjadi hasan lighairih disebabkan sokongan (Syawahid) melalui jalur Abu Hurairah dan Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
