How authentic is the Hadith: "Whoever enjoins good and forbids evil is the خليفةُ اللَّهِ (vicegerent of Allah) on His earth and the خليفةُ رسولِهِ (vicegerent of His Messenger)..."?
The hadith was narrated by Ibn Adiyy in Al-Kamil. Its chain of transmission includes Kamil ibn Rahmah, who is a fabricator, and Ibn Lahiyah, who became muddled in his old age.
And Allah knows best.
