Summary
This hadith is judged to be very weak because its chain contains an unknown narrator. It is more accurately the saying of Said bin al-Musayyib rather than a statement of the Prophet SAW. Several scholars graded it weak, while al-Albani ruled it fabricated. Even so, its meaning is sound, since the outward is an indicator of the inward.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith di atas adalah terlalu dhaif. Akan tetapi, maknanya adalah sahih.
