Is the Hadith: (He who performs ablution well in his house, then comes to the mosque, he is a visitor of Allah, and it is incumbent upon the host to honor the visitor) authentic?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Hadith, "Whoever performs ablution in his house, and performs ablution well, then comes to the mosque, he is a visitor of Allah, and it is a right upon the visited to honor the visitor," is weak. Its chain of narration revolves around Sa'id ibn Zarbi, Umar ibn Habib, and Al-Qasim ibn Ghusn, all of whom are weak in Hadith. This narration has been reported as a saying of Salman al-Farisi and the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with sound chains of narration. Its authenticity is further supported by the agreed-upon Hadith of Abu Hurairah: "Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning or in the evening, Allah prepares for him a feast in Paradise, every time he goes in the morning or in the evening."
