An unreliable virtue of udhiyah

Question

Is this Hadith authentic?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever sacrifices an animal [for udhiyah/qurbani] with a happy heart, anticipating reward for his sacrifice, it will serve as a veil/barrier against the fire.”

 

Answer

Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Hasan ibn ‘Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

(Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 2736)

 

‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared one of the narrators a liar. The narration is therefore not suitable to quote.

(Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 4 pg. 17. Also see: Lisanul Mizan, vol. 4 pg. 163, number: 3633)

 

See another suitable virtue of udhiyah here.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
