Are the following narration sahih?
1. Sayyiduna Mu’adh (radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said:
‘Whoever taunts a brother (Muslim) with a sin (which the Muslim has committed), will not die until he (the taunter) commits the same sin.’
2. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alyhi wasallam) said:
‘A Mu’min (Believer) is the repository of love. There is no goodness in a man who does not have love for anyone nor does anyone love him.’
Answer:
1. The first Hadith is recorded by Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) in his Sunan and is classified as sound (hasan).
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2505 & Mukhtasarul Maqasidil Hasanah, Hadith: 1057. Also see: Targhib, vol.3 pg.310, Sharhul Ihya, vol.7 pg.504 & Al-Mudawi, Hadith: 3462)
2. The second Hadith is recorded by Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (vol.2 pg.400) as well as other Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum)
This Hadith is authentic.
(See: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol.10 pg.273-274)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best,
