Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The : "Beware of the green things of the dung" was narrated by Al-Daraqutni and others, and it was reported with an explanatory addition: "The beautiful woman of evil origin." Hadith scholars have weakened this Hadith; Ibn Adi said about it: "Al-Waqidi was alone in narrating it," and Al-Daraqutni said: "It is not sound from any aspect," and Al-Albani described it as "very weak." The conclusion is that the Hadith is weak.
