The question

How sound is the hadith: "Whoever seeks help through the help of Jahiliyyah, make him bite his father's genitals and do not use euphemisms," given the defects in its chain of transmission, such as Al-Hasan Al-Basri's tadlis (deception in narration) and Sheikh Al-Albani's error in authenticating one of its narrators?

The answer

The scholars, among them Al-Albani, authenticated the : "Whoever invokes the call of Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance), make him bite it with his molar teeth, and do not be lenient." Al-Albani had initially strengthened it with another chain of narration from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, then he recanted his misconception regarding Muhammad ibn Amr al-Bahili, clarifying that he is trustworthy. Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut and others also authenticated it, emphasizing that following up on narrations strengthens a hadith (good hadith).
