Summary
The hadith is narrated by Imam al-Tabrani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, but its chain of narration is weak (daif). The weakness comes from three issues: the chain is a solitary transmission, there are breaks between Khalid bin Ma'dan and 'Ubadah bin al-Samit and between Bisyr bin Bakr and Zaid bin Bisyr, and the narrator Ahmad bin Risydin is weak and never took hadith from Zaid bin Bisyr. The hadith is therefore classed as daif.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, status hadis ini adalah hadis yang daif(lemah).
