Is this Hadith reliable?
صَلّوا في مراح الغنم وامسحوا رغامها فإنّها من دواب الجنّة
Answer:
Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) with a suitable chain. Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has also recorded a similar narration which supports the Hadith in question.
(As Sunanul Kubra, vol. 2 pg. 449, Tarikh Baghdad, vol. 8 pg. 466. Also see: Al Mudawi, Hadith: 2104 and Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 2 pg. 25/26)
Translation
Perform Salah [when the time sets in] in the sheep pen [if you are forced to] and wipe off the dust/mucus from it for it is from the animals of Jannah.
