What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
هذا خطأ رواه الثقات عن التيمي عن أبي عثمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مرسل ليس فيه سلمان وهو الصحيح
machine translationThis is a mistake. The trustworthy (thiqāt) narrators narrated it from al-Taymī, from Abū ʿUthmān, from the Prophet ﷺ, as a mursal report (mursal), without Salmān in it, and that is the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) version.
