What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Nothing infects anything else," given the presence of an unknown narrator in its chain of transmission, despite its authentication by Al-Albani and Shu'ayb Al-Arna'ut?
The aforementioned : "(Nothing infects anything [on its own])" has a weak chain of narration due to an ambiguous narrator. However, its weakness does not affect the authenticity of the Hadith due to the existence of other authentic chains of narration for it, including what Ahmad narrated through the path of Abdullah ibn Shubrumah from Abu Zur'ah ibn Amr ibn Jarir from Abu Hurairah, which is authentic according to Muslim's conditions, and what Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Abu Hurairah. The last part of the Hadith: "Then who infected the first one?" is supported by other texts that confirm that every soul is created and its provision, lifespan, and misfortunes are predetermined.
