How sound is the hadith: "I am salty, and my brother Yusuf has become handsome"?
This has not been found in the hadith compilations, and it is mentioned without a chain of transmission () in some unreliable books not considered sources for the , such as the book "Rahat al-Sudur" and some Shiite books. Waliullah al-Dehlawi transmitted it in his treatise "Al-Durr al-Thamin" without a chain of transmission, indicating that he received it through a dream or a vision of the noble spirit. Such methods are not considered valid chains of transmission for authenticating a hadith, because the isnad is the basis for judging the authenticity or weakness of a hadith. Seeing the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream or while awake is not proof of the hadith's authenticity, because sleep is a state of lack of precision, and there is no evidence to support the validity of seeing the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while awake.
