Summary
The claim of three proposals is examined one by one. The first, said to be before Islam, has no traceable source in hadith or scholarly statements. The second, narrated by Ibn Sa'd, is rejected because its chain includes Muhammad bin al-Sa'ib al-Kalbi, who is extremely weak and admitted that his narrations from Abu Salih were lies. The third, after the conquest of Makkah, is established through Muslim's narration from Abu Hurairah and is authentic.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hadis ini merupakan hadis sahih kerana diriwayatkan oleh Imam Muslim dalam sahihnya.
