The question

How sound is the hadith: "Halimah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: 'The Messenger of Allah was absent from me that day. As evening approached, we went out to meet him on the road. Behold, he came, with lights preceding him, and the sheep gathered around him. Among the sheep was a ewe whose leg Hamzah, his brother, had broken. She began to cling to him as if complaining to him. He then took hold of her leg with his noble hand, and it was as if no pain had occurred.' Then she said to her son Hamzah: 'How did you find your القرشي (Qurayshi) brother?' He replied: 'O mother, he did not pass by a stone, nor a tree, nor a plain, nor a mountain, nor a wild animal, nor a bird, except that it said: 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.' Nor did he step on a place except that grass grew there'"?

The answer

This report has no authentic or even weak chain of transmission (isnad). It was mentioned in the book "Nuzhat al-Majalis" by Abd al-Rahman al-Safuri, which is a book that compiles weak and fabricated reports. Al-Safuri stated that he took it from the book "Sharaf al-Mustafa," but it was not found therein. In conclusion, no chain of transmission is known for this report, and its text is denounced (munkar) and contains exaggerations indicating that it is fabricated. The established miracles of the Prophet are sufficient without such baseless reports.
