Despite the issue of frequency of narration, multitude of references and the many ways through which this [[hadith]] has been narrated, some [[Sunni]] scholars believe that this hadith cannot be regarded as [[Mutawatir]] [frequent] and [[Sahih]] [authentic]. Their justification is that most hadith narrators such as [[Bukhari]] and [[Muslim al-Neyshaburi|Muslim]] have not narrated it and some others including [[Abi Dawud]] and [[Abi Hatam al-Razi]] have considered it weak. | Despite the issue of frequency of narration, multitude of references and the many ways through which this [[hadith]] has been narrated, some [[Sunni]] scholars believe that this hadith cannot be regarded as [[Mutawatir]] [frequent] and [[Sahih]] [authentic].<ref>Taftazani, ''Shar al-maqasid'', vol.5 p.272</ref> Their justification is that most hadith narrators such as [[Bukhari]] and [[Muslim al-Neyshaburi|Muslim]] have not narrated it and some others including [[Abi Dawud]] and [[Abi Hatam al-Razi]] have considered it weak.<ref>Iji, ''Sharh al-mawaqif'', vol.8 p.361</ref> | ||
Their doubt has been answered as many Sunni scholars such as [[al-Tirmidhi]] (d. 279 AH/892), [[Tahawi]] (d. 279 AH/892), [[Hakim al-Neyshaburi]] (d. 405 AH/1014), [[Ibn Kathir]] (d. 774 AH/1375), [[Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani]] (d. 852 AH/1448), [[Ibn Hajar al-Haythami]] (d. 974 AH/1566) have confirmed the authenticity of the references for this hadith. Moreover, there are many other direct and indirect narrations from the companions and the followers in historical and hadith references which prove the authenticity of the references of this hadith and the reason why Bukhari and Muslim did not narrate it must be studied separately, not in connection with their doubt for the references of this hadith. | Their doubt has been answered as many Sunni scholars such as [[al-Tirmidhi]] (d. 279 AH/892),<ref>Tirmidhi, ''Sunan'', vol.5 p.563</ref> [[Tahawi]] (d. 279 AH/892),<ref>Tahawi, ''Bayan mushkil al-athar'', vol.4 p.212</ref> [[Hakim al-Neyshaburi]] (d. 405 AH/1014),<ref>Hakim Neyshaburi, ''Al-Mustadrak'', vol.3 p.118</ref> [[Ibn Kathir]] (d. 774 AH/1375),<ref>Ibn Kathir, ''Al-Bidaya'', vol.5 p.209</ref> [[Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani]] (d. 852 AH/1448),<ref>'Asghalani, ''Fath al-bari'', vol.7 p.74</ref> [[Ibn Hajar al-Haythami]] (d. 974 AH/1566)<ref>Haythami, ''Al-Sawa'iq'', vol.1 p.106</ref> have confirmed the authenticity of the references for this hadith.
