هذا حديث ضعيف والحارث مجهول
machine translationThis hadith is weak (ḍaʿīf), and al-Ḥārith is unknown (majhūl).
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 639 - Maghlaṭay
وقال الخطابي هذا حديث ضعيف والحارث مجهول وقد يحتج به من يوجب الاستنشاق في الجنابة انتهى كلامه وفيه نظر في قوله مجهول إن أراد العين فمردود بما أسلفناه من قول الترمذي روى عنه غير واحد من الأئمة وإن أراد الحال فكذلك أيضا لما أسلفناه قبل وفي كتاب البيهقي والحسن لم يثبت سماعه من أبي هريرة نظر لما أسلفناه من ثبوت سماعه منه من قبل
machine translationAl-Khaṭṭābī said: This hadith is weak (ḍaʿīf) and al-Ḥārith is unknown (majhūl); it may be used as evidence by those who make rinsing the nose obligatory in the state of major ritual impurity. His words end here. There is room for objection in his saying 'unknown'. If he meant unknown in identity, it is refuted by what we mentioned earlier of al-Tirmidhī's statement that more than one of the imams narrated from him. If he meant unknown in condition, it is likewise so, for what we mentioned before. And in the book of al-Bayhaqī, the statement that al-Ḥasan's hearing from Abū Hurayrah is not established is open to objection, because of what we mentioned earlier about the establishment of his hearing from him.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 639 - Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
ومداره على الحارث بن وجبة وهو ضعيف جدا
machine translationIts transmission revolves around al-Ḥārith b. Wajbah, and he is very weak (ḍaʿīf jiddan).

ضعفه وزعم أنه ليس بثابت
