حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا قَزَعَةُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

إِذَا حَضَرْتُمْ مَوْتَاكُمْ فَأَغْمِضُوا الْبَصَرَ فَإِنَّ الْبَصَرَ يَتْبَعُ الرُّوحَ وَقُولُوا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ تُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ

What scholars said about it

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

  • Abū al-Ḥasan Nur al-Dīn ʿAlī b. Abi Bakr al-Haythamī

    إسناده حسن لأن قزعة بن سويد مختلف فيه وباقي رجاله ثقات

    in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 1519
  • ابن عدي

    وهذا الحديث لا أعلمه رواه عن حميد غير قزعة وحميد بن قيس لا بأس بحديثه وإنما يؤتى مما يقع في حديثه من الإنكار من جهة من يروي عنه

    machine translationI do not know of anyone who narrated this hadith from Ḥumayd other than Qazaʿah. Ḥumayd b. Qays is not problematic (lā baʾs bihi) in his hadith; rather, the fault comes only from the objectionable material (inkār) that occurs in his hadith through those who narrate from him.

    in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 1519
