Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Safi ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri
Lexical Explanation:
«زَنْدَيَّ» "Za" with a fatha, "noon" is sakin, and "ya" has a shadda. It is the dual form of "zand" and is annexed to the first person singular pronoun (my). By "zand" is meant the joint of the arm towards the palm, which is called «رُسْغٌ», i.e., the wrist.
«اَلْجَبَائِر» is the plural of «جَبِيرَة». It refers to a piece of cloth or wood that is firmly wrapped and tied around a broken bone.
«وَاهٍ» is derived from «وَهٰي يَهِي وَهِيًا» and «وُهِيًّا».

Benefits and Issues:

Extremely weak and feeble. The reason for the weakness of this hadith is that in its chain of narration there is a narrator, Amr ibn Khalid al-Wasiti. He was an extremely dishonest and lying person. According to Imam Nawawi rahimahullah, the hadith scholars are unanimous regarding the weakness of this hadith.
