I would like to ask regarding the authenticity of the following narration of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu anhu):
“Clean your homes from the web of the spider because keeping it causes poverty”
Answer:
Imam Tha’labi (rahimahullah) has recorded this statement of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Tafsir Tha’labi, Surah ‘Ankabut, Verse: 41)
However, the chain consists of an extremely weak narrator.
(Refer: Mizanul I’tidal, vol. 2 pg. 456, number: 4405)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
