A narration regarding Fatimah (radiyallahu ‘anha) and her progeny

Please authenticate this Hadith.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Fatima (radiyallahu ‘anha) has protected her honour and purity in such a way that Allah Ta’ala has protected her progeny from Jahannam.”

Answer:

Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith. ‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) has declared one of the narrators extremely weak.

(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 3 pg. 152)

‘Allamah Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith a fabrication.

(Minhajus Sunnah, vol. 4 pg. 62)

The following Hadith should be quoted instead:

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports, Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) told Sayyidah Fatimah (radiyallahu ‘anha), “Allah Ta’ala will not punish you or your children.”

(Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 11685. Refer: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 9 pg. 202. Also see: Tanzihush Shari’ah, vol. 1 pg. 417)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
