1299. Commentary:
There is some discussion regarding the chains of narration (isnad) of the ahadith about Salat al-Tasbih, but overall, it is established as authentic. This is as researched by Allamah al-Albani rahimahullah. The inclusion of this hadith among fabricated reports (mawdu‘at) by Allamah Ibn al-Jawzi rahimahullah is absolutely incorrect. The aforementioned first hadith, apart from being in Juz’ al-Qira’ Khalf al-Imam of al-Bukhari, is also narrated in Sunan Ibn Majah, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, and al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim. Imam al-Bayhaqi and others have declared it authentic. It is narrated from Abu Bakr, the son of Imam Abu Dawud, that he heard from his father that this hadith is the most authentic regarding Salat al-Tasbih. Ibn Mandah, Ajurri, Khatib, Abu Sa‘d al-Sam‘ani, Abu Musa al-Madini, Abu al-Hasan ibn Mufaddal, Mundhiri, Ibn al-Salah, and Nawawi have declared this hadith to be hasan (good). Imam Ibn al-Mubarak was among those who accepted and practiced it. [عون المعبود]
