Is this Hadith reliable?
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, If three sins are not found within a person, then Allah will forgive all his other sins for whom he wishes; One who died without associating partners with Allah, one who never turned to black magic (sihr), and one who never harboured malice towards his brother.”
Answer:
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration in Al Adabul Mufrad. Imams Tabarani and Bayhaqi (rahimahumallah) have also recorded this Hadith.
(Al Adabul Mufrad, Hadith: 413, Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 13004, Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 921 and Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 6190)
The Hadith has been reported with two chains which corroborate each other. The Hadith is suitable to quote.
(Targhib, vol. 3 pg. 461, Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 1 pg. 104 and Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 3421)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
