IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-225: KELEBIHAN MENGISLAMKAN SESEORANG
What is the status of the hadith stating that whoever brings a person to Islam is guaranteed Paradise?
Short answer
The hadith is judged to have no basis and to be fabricated (mawdhu'), because its chain includes narrators described as liars by hadith authorities such as Yahya bin Ma'in and al-Daraquthni.

Summary
The hadith is judged to have no basis and to be fabricated (mawdhu'), because its chain includes narrators described as liars by hadith authorities such as Yahya bin Ma'in and al-Daraquthni. It therefore may not be attributed to the Prophet or narrated, except to point out that it is false. Even so, calling people to guidance remains a noble act, and other authentic hadiths mention great rewards for those who direct others to goodness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Setelah melihat sebahagian pendapat para ulama' berkaitan hukum hadith ini, maka kami cederung untuk mengatakan bahawa hadith ini tidak mempunyai asal atau mawdhu'.
