Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The aforementioned narration has been declared weak in terms of its chain of transmission by the verifier of the book. However, due to supporting evidences, this narration becomes hasan (good), as the verifier of the book himself has mentioned supporting narrations and has declared one of them to be hasan in terms of its chain. Furthermore, other scholars have also declared it to be sahih (authentic) and hasan. See: (Sahih Sunan an-Nasa’i by al-Albani, no. 4052, and Dhakheerat al-‘Uqba Sharh Sunan an-Nasa’i: 31/353, 354)
(2) The verse regarding “muharaba” (waging war) refers to the same verse that was mentioned before these ahadith, that is: ﴿إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ﴾. The meaning is that in this verse, the punishment that was given to the people of ‘Uraina is mentioned.
