In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

• Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

  صححه ابن خزيمة وابن حبان وقال الإسماعيلي هو صحيح على شرط البخاري كذا قال وكأنه لم يطلع على علته فقد اختلفوا في كون الزهري سمعه من سهل نعم أخرجه أبو داود وابن خزيمة أيضا من طريق أبي حازم عن سهل ولهذا الإسناد أيضا علة أخرى ذكرها ابن أبي حاتم وفي الجملة هو إسناد صالح لأن يحتج به

  machine translationIbn Khuzaymah and Ibn Ḥibbān graded it sound (ṣaḥīḥ). Al-Ismāʿīlī said: It is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) according to the criterion of al-Bukhārī. So he said, but it seems he was not aware of its defect (ʿillah), for they differed over whether al-Zuhrī heard it from Sahl. Yes, Abū Dāwūd and also Ibn Khuzaymah reported it through Abū Ḥāzim from Sahl. This chain also has another defect, which Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned. In sum, it is a chain fit to be used as evidence.

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  وقد تقدم أن ابن شهاب لم يسمعه من سهل بن سعد وإنما رواه عن أبي حازم عن سهل بن سعد وهو حديث صحيح ثابت بنقل العدول والثقات له

  machine translationIt has already been mentioned that Ibn Shihāb did not hear it from Sahl b. Saʿd; rather he narrated it from Abū Ḥāzim, from Sahl b. Saʿd. It is a sound (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith, established by the transmission of upright and trustworthy (thiqāt) narrators. Report a problem

  in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 1177
• Ibn Daqīq al-ʿĪd

  أعل هذا الحديث بأن فيه انقطاعا بين الزهري وسهل يدل عليه رواية ابن ماجه

  machine translationThis hadith was deemed defective (muʿall) because of a break (inqiṭāʿ) in the chain between al-Zuhrī and Sahl, which is indicated by the narration of Ibn Mājah. Report a problem

  in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 1177
• Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī

  هذا الحديث لم يسمعه الزهري من سهل إنما سمعه من بعض أصحابه عن سهل
