Hadith Authentication:
This narration is weak due to being defective (‘ill).
● Ibn Hibban [الاحسان : 178], Hakim [1؍33], and Dhahabi have declared it authentic, but its chain of narration is defective.
Although Rubay‘ bin Hirash rahimahullah was a student of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib radi Allahu anhu, he has narrated this narration through the chain of «عن رجل عن علي». See: [سنن الترمذي : 2/2148، مسند ابي داود الطيالسي : 106، مسند أحمد 133/1 ح 1112، مسند عبد بن حميد : 75، شرح السنة للبغوي 122/1 ح 66، كتاب القدر للفريابي : 192، 193، كتاب القدر للبيهقي : 194، 193]
● The issue of “al-mazeed fi muttasil al-asaneed” is that if in one narration there is an additional narrator and in another that narrator is absent, then only that addition is considered, unless in the narration without the addition, the narrator explicitly states that he heard it from his teacher. See: [مقدمة ابن الصلاح ص 290 نوع 37]
● In the mentioned narration, Rubay‘ bin Hirash has not explicitly stated hearing (sama‘) from Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu, therefore only the addition of the extra narrator («رجل من بني اسد») is to be considered. Imam Daraqutni has also declared this addition to be correct (sawab). See: [العلل للدارقطني ج3 ص196، 197 س : 357]
● And this man is majhool (unknown).
● According to the fundamental principles of hadith regarding “al-mazeed fi muttasil al-asaneed,” the opinion of Imam Tirmidhi and Hafiz Maqdisi, the author of al-Mukhtarah, is weak and incorrect.
● There are supporting narrations (shawahid) for the meaning of this hadith, but for the wording of «أني رسول الله» in this narration, no corroborating narration has been found. «والله اعلم»
