Is the Hadith "There is a single seed from Paradise in the fruit of the pomegranate" authentic?
Pomegranates are among the fruits of Paradise, mentioned in the Quran for their honor. A hadith has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which states: "There is no pomegranate among your pomegranates except that it is fertilized by a seed from the pomegranates of Paradise." This hadith is false and fabricated, as one of its narrators, Muhammad ibn al-Walid, is accused of fabricating hadith and stealing isnāds (chains of narration) and matn (texts), and the other, Abd al-Salam ibn Ubayd ibn Abi Farwah, is accused of stealing hadith and narrating fabrications. It should be known that the fruits of Paradise do not resemble the fruits of this world except in name, but their realities are entirely different.
