Is the Hadith of Tha'labah authentic or weak?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The story of Tha'labah is not authentic; the imams have deemed it weak, despite its prevalence among exegetes. Tha'labah was a Badr participant from the Ansar, and Allah and His Messenger bore witness to his faith. What has been narrated concerning him is incorrect. This story has been weakened by Al-Hafiz Al-Iraqi, Ibn Hajar, Al-Dhahabi, and Al-Suyuti.
