Is the following an authentic narration?
It is reported from Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “When the teacher says to a child, say ‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim’ and the child says so, the teacher, the child and the child’s parents are all freed from the fire of Jahannam.
Answer:
The chain of narrators of this Hadith consists of a fabricator. The Muhaddithun have therefore declared this narration a fabrication.
(Tanzihush Shari’ah, vol. 1 pg. 252)
The narration is not suitable to quote.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
