What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
اختلف على العلاء في هذا الحديث كما ترى في الإسناد والمتن وأظنه كان في حفظه شيء والله أعلم وقد جوده ابن أبي شيبة ويوسف بن موسى عن أبي أسامة عن عبد الحميد بن جعفر
machine translationThere was disagreement about al-ʿAlāʾ in this hadith, as you see, in the chain and in the text. I think there was something in his memory, and God knows best. Ibn Abī Shaybah and Yūsuf b. Mūsā have transmitted it well, from Abū Usāmah, from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar.
