How authentic is the Hadith of the Isra and Mi'raj from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri, which mentions that the name of the guardian of the first heaven is Isma'il?
The mentioned hadith is long and very weak. It was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Dala'il al-Nubuwwah from Abu Harun al-Abdi, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, describing the night of Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj. Al-Albani stated that its chain of narration is very weak because Abu Harun al-Abdi is abandoned (matruk), and some have accused him of lying.
