Are all the chains of transmission (Isnad) for the aforementioned Hadith authentic?
It is not necessary for all chains of narration (asanid) of a to be sound; rather, the soundness of a single chain is sufficient for its acceptance and for acting upon it. A single meaning may also be conveyed through different wordings. The hadith: "Three things are not to be withheld: water, pasture, and fire" is narrated in Sunan Ibn Majah and authenticated by Al-Albani and others. Other hadiths with the same meaning have been narrated, including: "Muslims are partners in three things: water, pasture, and fire." What is meant by water and pasture is that which has no owner; as for what grows on owned land, it belongs to its owner. What is meant by fire is that which is kindled from unowned wood, or the taking of embers from it in a way that does not diminish it.
