قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ سَقْىُ الْمَاءِ

What scholars said about it

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

  • ابن الملقن

    مرسل سعيد لم يدرك سعدا

    machine translationIt is a mursal report (mursal); Saʿīd did not meet Saʿd.

    in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 3796
  • Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

    وهو مرسل لأن سعيدا ولد سنة مات سعد وأما تصحيح ابن حبان له فمتعقب على شرطه في الاتصال

    machine translationIt is a mursal report (mursal) because Saʿīd was born in the year that Saʿd died. As for Ibn Ḥibbān's authentication of it, it is open to criticism on the basis of his own condition of continuity of the chain (ittiṣāl).
