Wa ʿalaykum as-salām,


The chain Darrāj ibn Samʿān → Abū al-Haytham → Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī is disputed among hadith critics:

• Some early scholars (e.g., Imām Aḥmad, Abū Ḥātim, al-Nasāʾī) expressed reservations, usually indicating slight weakness in this specific route.
• However, the majority of hadith imams — including Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ibn Khuzaymah, al-Ḥākim, al-Tirmidhī — authenticated narrations on this chain. Imām Ibn Maʿīn explicitly said: “This isnād is ṣaḥīḥ.”
• Because major authentic works like Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Khuzaymah (1502), Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān, Jāmiʿ al-Tirmidhī, and al-Mustadrak include hadith via this route and grade them authentic/ḥasan, such narrations are accepted by many scholars, especially when supported by other chains.

Verdict:
This chain is considered ḥasan or ṣaḥīḥ by many imams, and its narrations are acceptable — especially in faḍāʾil al-aʿmāl — though some critics graded it weaker.
