The Status of the Hadith Among the conclusions of scholars regarding the status of the hadith:

Imam al-Suyuthi states that the hadith is dhaif (weak). (See al-Jami’ al-Saghir, 2/64)

Imam al-Sakhawi said that the above hadith is narrated by al-Baihaqi and its sanad (chain of narrators) is dhaif (weak). (See al-Mughni, 1/174)
