How authentic is this Hadith?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever sells defective goods without pointing it out, will remain subject to the wrath of Allah, and the angels will continue to curse him.”
Answer:
Imam Ibn Majah (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Wathilah ibnul Asqa’ (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2247)
‘Allamah Busiri (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith weak. However, he states that the Hadith is corroborated by a Hadith in Sahih Muslim.
(Zawaid Ibn Majah, Hadith: 749)
The Hadith is therefore acceptable.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
