Is this Hadith authentic?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever boasts of his knowledge then argue and quarrel with him, whoever swears at his parents then strike him and whoever hits his parents then kill him”
Answer:
Imam Daylami (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu). However the Hadith is transmitted through a fabricator and is therefore not suitable to quote.
(Refer: Dhaylul La-Alil Masnu’ah, vol. 1 pg. 167, Hadith: 184, Tanzihush Shari’ah, vol. 1 pg. 274 and Lisanul Mizan, vol. 3 pg. 189)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
