أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى فِي أَصْحَابِهِ تَأَخُّرًا فَقَالَ تَقَدَّمُوا فَأْتَمُّوا بِي وَلْيَأْتَمَّ بِكُمْ مَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ وَلاَ يَزَالُ قَوْمٌ يَتَأَخَّرُونَ حَتَّى يُؤَخِّرَهُمُ اللَّهُ ﷻ

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
إنما ذكره البخاري بصيغة التمريض لأن أبا نضرة ليس على شرطه لضعف فيه وهذا عندي ليس بصواب لأنه لا يلزم من كونه على غير شرطه أنه لا يصلح عنده للاحتجاج به بل قد يكون صالحا للاحتجاج به عنده وليس هو على شرط صحيحه الذي هو أعلى شروط الصحة
machine translationAl-Bukhārī mentioned it only in the passive, weakening form (ṣīghat al-tamrīḍ) because Abū Naḍrah is not on his criterion, due to a weakness in him. In my view this is not correct, because it does not follow from his not being on his criterion that he is unfit to be used as evidence according to him. Rather, he may be fit to be used as evidence according to him, and yet not be on the criterion of his Ṣaḥīḥ, which is the highest of the criteria of authenticity.
