The answer

The scholars have discussed the authenticity of the story of "Tala'a al-Badru 'Alayna" (The full moon rose upon us) from an (chain of narration) perspective. However, biographers and historians have mentioned it, and it has become well-known among them and among people. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned it in "Zad al-Ma'ad" when discussing the Battle of Tabuk, clarifying that "Thaniyyat al-Wada'" (the Farewell Pass) is located on the side of Syria, not from the direction of Mecca. Therefore, there is no harm in disseminating it, because it is the custom of scholars to be lenient in matters of maghazi (military expeditions) and virtues, unlike legal rulings.
