Hadeeth 'My Companions are like stars' is not Saheeh Fatwa No: 10986
- Fatwa Date:10-11-2007
Is the Hadeeth where the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said that his, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, companions guide people to the truth as the stars guide people to the light Saheeh?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.
The scholars have graded this Hadeeth as very Dha‘eef. Some scholars have even ruled it as fabricated: Ahmad, Ibn ‘Abd Al-Barr and Ibn Hazm are among those who graded this Hadeeth as Dha‘eef. Al-Albaani said that this Hadeeth is fabricated.
Allaah Knows best.
