Is the following Hadith authentic?
“Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) recited ‘Ha-Mim Ad-Dukhan’ in Maghrib”
Answer
Imam Nasa’i (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Utbah ibn Mas’ud (rahimahullah)
(Sunan Nasai, Al Mujtaba, Hadith: 988)
Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has declared the above narration as sound (hasan).
(Nataijul Afkar, vol. 1 pg. 450)
Note
Although reciting Surah Dukhan in Maghrib Salah is permissible, this isn’t established as the constant practice of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would usually recite from the qisar mufassal (from Surah Bayyinah till Surah Nas) in the Fard of Maghrib.
(Sunan Nasai, Al Mujtaba, Hadith: 983)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
