Summary
The original hadith is narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu’jam al-Saghir and al-Mu’jam al-Awsat, and by al-Khatib al-Baghdadi in Tarikh Baghdad. Its text ends with a prohibition on serving them as agents, tax collectors, treasury keepers or enforcers, while the line stating that their deeds lead them to hell is an addition found in no narration. In terms of chain, the hadith is narrated uniquely through Daud bin Sulaiman al-Khurasani, who is weak, and it also includes an unknown narrator, Mu’awiyah bin al-Haitham. The conclusion is that the hadith is weak.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, lafaz 'kerana segala perbuatan mereka akan membawa mereka ke jalan neraka' yang dinukilkan itu adalah lafaz tambahan yang tiada asal dalam mana-mana riwayat.
