Summary
The chain of transmission through Imam al-Hakim is authentic, and al-Dhahabi agreed with this. However, the chain that includes the narrator al-Hakam bin ʻAbdullah Abu Mutiʻ al-Balkhi is weak because hadith scholars criticised him. The hadith is understood as indicating that in the end times there will be people worshipping in mosques whose faith is weak compared with earlier generations.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
