Summary
The hadith exists and is narrated by al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Majah and al-Nasai from Abu Hurairah. Its chains converge on Malik, Sumayy, Abu Salih and Abu Hurairah, all reliable narrators, and the hadith is judged authentic. According to al-Munawi, the punishment refers to fatigue, hardship, extreme weather, fear, danger and shortage of water and food. The hadith also encourages the traveller to return to his family promptly once his purpose is done.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika diteliti dan diperhatikan jalur sanad akan tertumpu kepada Malik daripada Sumiy daripada Abu Salih daripada Abu Hurairah.
