Summary
The narration claiming that ringing in the ears signals the Prophet SAW is remembering the person is judged to be unauthentic. The ruling cites scholars such as Ibn al-Jauzi, al-Sakhawi, al-Fattani and al-Maqdisi, who described it as fabricated or weak. It is forbidden to narrate or spread it except to explain that it is false, as part of the duty to protect the Prophet SAW from false attribution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith di atas adalah tidak sahih dan haram ke atas kita untuk meriwayatkan atau menyebarkannya melainkan untuk menyatakan akan kepalsuannya sebagaimana yang telah kami jelaskan di atas.
