What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
مدارها على عبد الله بن محمد بن عقيل وفيه مقال
machine translationThey all revolve around ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. ʿAqīl, and there is criticism of him.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 477 - ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm al-Mudhirī
هذا حديث حسن ثم قال في آخره وعبد الله بن عقيل ضعيف فكيف يكون الحديث حسنا ومداره على ضعيف كما يزعم
machine translationThis is a good (ḥasan) hadith. Then at the end he said: "ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAqīl is weak (ḍaʿīf)." So how can the hadith be good when it revolves around a weak narrator, as he claims?

سنده لا بأس به
machine translationIts chain is acceptable (lā baʾsa bihi).

نقل الترمذي عن البخاري كان أحمد بن حنبل وإسحاق بن راهويه والحميدي يحتجون بحديثه أي ابن عقيل وهو مقارب الحديث
machine translationAl-Tirmidhī transmitted from al-Bukhārī: Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, Isḥāq b. Rāhawayh and al-Ḥumaydī used to take his hadith as evidence, that is, Ibn ʿAqīl's, and he is close in hadith (muqārib al-ḥadīth).
