حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَارِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever introduces a good practice that is followed after him, will have a reward for that and the equivalent of their reward, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. Whoever introduces an evil practice that is followed after him, will bear the burden of sin for that and the equivalent of their burden of sin, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest.'"

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
وفيه أبو إسرائيل الملائي وفيه كلام وقد وثق
machine translationIn it is Abū Isrāʾīl al-Mulāʾī, about whom there is some criticism, though he has been declared trustworthy (wuththiqa).
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 213 - Bazzār
وهذا الحديث لا نعلمه يروى عن أبي جحيفة إلا بهذا الإسناد وأبو إسرائيل لين الحديث وقد روى عنه سفيان الثوري وجماعة كثيرة واحتملوا حديثه
machine translationWe do not know this hadith to be narrated from Abū Juḥayfah except by this chain of narration. Abū Isrāʾīl is lenient in hadith (layyin al-ḥadīth); Sufyān al-Thawrī and a great many others narrated from him and tolerated his hadith.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 213 - أحمد بن أبي بكر بن إسماعيل البوصيري
هذا الإسناد ضعف إسرائيل
machine translationThis chain of narration is weak (ḍaʿīf) because of Isrāʾīl.
