Da'eef (weak) hadeeths, Dought & clear, - * Hadith about the conquest of India

There is a hadith that speaks about the conquest of India and says
that whoever participates in this conquest will enter Paradise. I
would like to know how sound this hadith is, and the reference, the
chain of narrators and the commentary on it in detail. May Allah
reward you with good.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The hadiths that speak of the conquest of India are as follows:
-1-
It was narrated that Thawbaan, the freed slave of the Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), said: The Messenger
of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "There are
two groups of my ummah whom Allah will protect from the Fire: a group
who will conquer India, and a group who will be with 'Eesaa ibn Maryam
(peace be upon him)."
Narrated by an-Nasaa'i (no. 3175) and Imam Ahmad inal-Musnad(37/81),
Mu'sasat ar-Risaalah edn. Classed as hasan by the commentators
onal-Musnad. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inas-Silsilah
as-Saheehah(no. 1934)
-2-
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) promised us that we would conquer India, so if I am martyred I
will be among the best of the martyrs, and if I return then I am Abu
Hurayrah the freed (protected from Hellfire).
This hadith was narrated via three isnaads from Abu Hurayrah.
The first isnaad is from Jibr ibn 'Ubaydah, from Abu Hurayrah
It was narrated by Imam Ahmad inal-Musnad(12/28) and others. This is a
da'eef (weak) isnaad because of Jibr ibn 'Ubaydah. No one narrated
from him except one narrator whose name was Sayyaar ibn al-Hakam, and
no one regarded him as thiqah (trustworthy). Rather he was mentioned
only in passing by Ibn Hibbaan inath-Thiqaat. Hence Imam adh-Dhahabi
said: It is not known who he was, and the report is odd. End quote.
See:Tahdheeb at-Tahdheeb(2/59).
The second isnaad is al-Bara' ibn 'Abdullah al-Ghanawi, from al-Hasan
al-Basri, from Abu Hurayrah, who said:
My close friend, the truthful one, the Messenger of Allah (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) told me: "Among this ummah there will
be an expedition to Sindh and India." If I live to see it and am
martyred, all well and good, and if I – and he said some word –
return, I am Abu Hurayrah the freed, I will be ransomed from the Fire.
Narrated by an-Nasaa'i inas-Sunan(no. 3173) and by Ahmad
inal-Musnad(14/419). But it is also a da'eef isnaad, because of
al-Bara' ibn 'Abdullah al-Ghanawi concerning whom the critics were
unanimously agreed that his hadith is layyin (a kind of weak hadith),
as it says inTahdheeb at-Tahdheeb(1/427). Moreover, there is an
interruption in the isnaad between al-Hasan al-Basri and Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him).
The third isnaad is Haashim ibn Sa'eed, from Kinaanah ibn Nabeeh, from
Abu Hurayrah.
This was narrated by Ibn Abi 'Aasim inal-Jihaad(no. 247), but it is
also a da'eef isnaad because of Haashim ibn Sa'eed, concerning whom
Ibn Ma'een said: He is nothing. Abu Haatim said: His hadith is da'eef.
See:Tahdheeb at-Tahdheeb(11/17).
The fourth isnaad is from Safwaan ibn 'Amr, from one of his shaykhs,
from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said –
and he mentioned India – then he said: "An army of yours will invade
India and Allah will grant its conquest to them, until they bring
their kings in chains, and Allah will forgive them their sins. Then
they will return and when they return, they will find the son of
Maryam in ash-Shaam (Syria)." Abu Hurayrah said: If I live to see that
campaign, I will sell everything I possess and join the campaign. Then
if Allah grants us victory and we return, then I will be Abu Hurayrah
the freed (protected from Hellfire). And when we return to Syria we
will find there 'Eesa ibn Maryam. Then I shall make sure that I draw
close to him and tell him that I accompanied you, O Messenger of
Allah. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) smiled and said: "Unlikely, unlikely." [very difficult?]
Narrated by Na'eem ibn Hammaad inal-Fitan(p. 409). Its isnaad includes
a narrator who was ambiguous about his narration from Abu Hurayrah.
Its isnaad also includes Baqiyyah ibn al-Waleed who is mudallis and
narrated by saying 'an ("from").
-3-
The third hadith is:
"Some people of my ummah will invade India and Allah will enable them
to conquer it, until they bring the kings of India in chains, and
Allah will forgive them their sins. Then they will return to ash-Shaam
(Syria) and they will find 'Eesa ibn Maryam in Syria."
Narrated by Na'eem ibn Hammaad inal-Fitan(p. 399). He said: al-Waleed
told us, from Safwaan ibn 'Amr, from someone who told him, from the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
This isnaad is obviously da'eef, because al-Waleed ibn Muslim narrated
it by saying 'an ("from"). It also appears to be mursal, because there
is no indication that the one who told Safwaan ibn 'Amr heard it from
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or that he was
a Sahaabi.
So to sum up: the hadith of Thawbaan is the one that is saheeh
concerning the conquest of India. As for the hadith of Abu Hurayrah,
most of its isnaads are da'eef (weak). And Allah knows best.
Secondly:
What appears to be the case from the apparent meaning of the hadith of
Thawbaan and the hadith of Abu Hurayrah – if it is saheeh – is that
the conquest of India referred to will occur at the end of time, and
at a time close to the descent of 'Eesa ibn Maryam (peace be upon
him), not at a time that was close to the era of Mu'aawiyah ibn Abi
Sufyaan (may Allah be pleased with him).
Al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Muslims invaded India at the time of Mu'aawiyah, in 44 AH, and
there occurred things which will be explained below. It was also
invaded by the great ruler Mahmoud ibn Sabuktagin, the ruler of
Ghaznah who conquered India around 400 AH. He invaded the land, where
he killed, took prisoners, and captured booty. He entered Somnath
where he broke the greatest idol that they used to worship, and he
captured its swords and necklaces. Then he returned, safe and
victorious. End quote.
Al-Bidaayah wa'n-Nihaayah(6/223)
Hence al-'Allaamah Hammood at-Tuwaijri (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
What is mentioned in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah have mercy
on him), which was narrated by Na'eem ibn Hammaad, about the conquest
of India has not happened up till now, but it will happen when 'Eesaa
ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) descends, if the hadith that says that
is saheeh. And Allah knows best. End quote.
Ithaaf al-Jamaa'ah(1/366)
And Allah knows best.

Da'eef (weak) hadeeths, Dought & clear, - * Lengthy fabricated hadith about the death of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)

Please advise us about the level of authenticity about the hadith
narrated in Majma' az-Zawaa'id wa Manba' al-Fawaa'id from Jaabir,
according to which he said concerning the soorah (interpretation of
the meaning):
"When comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)
against your enemies) and the conquest (of Makkah),
And you see that the people enter Allah's religion (Islam) in crowds,
So glorify the Praises of your Lord, and ask for His Forgiveness.
Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgives"
[an-Nasr 110:1-3]:
[Jaabir said:] When this soorah was revealed to Muhammad (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him), he said: "O Jibreel, you have
heralded the death of my soul." Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: "And
indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this
world). And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that
you shall be well-pleased" [ad-Duha 93:4-5]. The Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) instructed Bilaal to call
out "As-salaatu jaami'ah (prayer is about to begin)," and the
Muhaajiroon and Ansaar gathered, then the Prophet (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) led them in prayer, then he ascended the minbar
and praised and extolled Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, then
he delivered a speech that caused their hearts to tremble and their
eyes to weep. Then he said: "O people, what kind of Prophet have I
been to you?" They said: May Allah reward you with good, O Prophet;
you have been to us like a compassionate father and like a sincere and
caring brother. You have conveyed the messages of Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted; you have conveyed His revelation to us and
called to the path of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching.
May Allah reward you on our behalf with the best reward that He has
ever given to any Prophet on behalf of his nation…. And he quoted the
hadith at length.
Praise be to Allah.
This lengthy hadith was narrated by Imam at-Tabaraani inal-Mu'jam
al-Kabeer(3/58), and was quoted from him by Abu Nu'aym inHilyat
al-Awliya'(4/74) and via him by Ibn al-Jawzi inal-Mawdoo'aat(1/295).
He said: Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn al-Bara' narrated to us: 'Abd
al-Mun'im ibn Idrees ibn Sinaan narrated to us, from his father, from
Wahb ibn Munabbih, from Jaabir ibn 'Abdullah and 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbaas
(may Allah be pleased with them).
Al-Haythami said, after quoting this hadith (8/605):
This was narrated by at-Tabaraani. Its isnaad includes 'Abd al-Mun'im
ibn Idrees, who was a liar and a fabricator. End quote.
Ibn al-Jawzi said inal-Mawdoo'aat(1/301):
This is a fabricated hadith that cannot be sound. May Allah punish the
one who fabricated it and may He curse those who undermine religion
with such nonsense and words which are not befitting for the Messenger
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or for the Sahaabah.
The one who is accused of fabricating it is 'Abd al-Mun'im ibn Idrees.
Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: He used to tell lies against Wahb. Yahya said:
He is an evil liar. Ibn al-Madeeni and Abu Dawood said: He is not
trustworthy. Ibn Hibbaan said: It is not permissible to quote what he
narrates as evidence. Ad-Daaraqutni said: He and his father are to be
rejected. End quote.
Something similar was stated concerning him by as-Suyooti in
al-La'aali in his book on fabricated hadiths entitledal-La'aali
al-Masnoo'ah(1/257), by Ibn 'Iraaq inTanzeeh as-Sharee'ah(1/330) and
by ash-Shawkaani inal-Fawaa'id al-Majmoo'ah(324).
This fabricated hadith contains a number of problematic matters:
-1-
It speaks of the story of the death of the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) and the Angel of death asking permission
to enter upon him, and it mentions unproven details about this major
incident. It is well-known to the scholars that the story of the death
of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is one of
the topics concerning which the most lies were told by the liars and
people transmitted to one another many things concerning it that are
not proven.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said inal-Bidaayah
wa'n-Nihaayah(5/256):
Al-Waaqidi and others quoted many reports concerning the Prophet's
death that contain very strange and weird things, but we rejected most
of them because of the weakness of their isnaads and the oddness of
their texts, especially those that were narrated by many later
storytellers and others. Many of them are certainly fabricated, and
the saheeh and hasan hadiths that are narrated in the well-known books
are sufficient and we have no need for fabricated reports of which the
isnaads are not known. And Allah knows best. End quote.
There is no saheeh hadith or report which suggests that the Angel of
death sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) to take his soul. All the reports that have been
narrated concerning that are either munkar (odd) or mawdoo'
(fabricated). Please see the answer to question no. 71400.
-2-
With regard to the story of 'Ukaashah seeking retaliation from the
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), a
similar story was narrated via a saheeh isnaad, but in it, it states
that the one who sought retaliation was Usayd ibn Hudayr (may Allah be
pleased with him). 'Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn Abi Layla narrated that Usayd
ibn Hudayr said:
Whilst he – i.e., Usayd ibn Hudayr – was talking to the people and
joking to make them laugh, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) poked him in the ribs with a stick. He said: Let me
retaliate. He said: Retaliate. He said: You are wearing a shirt but I
am not wearing a shirt. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) lifted his shirt and he embraced him and kissed his side. He
said: This is all I wanted, O Messenger of Allah.
Narrated by Abu Dawood (5224) and via him by al-Bayhaqi inas-Sunan
al-Kubra(7/102). Also narrated by at-Tabaraani inal-Mu'jam
al-Kabeer(1/205); al-Haakim inal-Mustadrak(3/327) and Ibn 'Asaakir
inTareekh Dimashq(9/76).
The isnaad of this hadith is saheeh. It was classed as saheeh by
al-Haakim and likewise by adh-Dhahabi. It was also classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani inSaheeh Abi Dawood.
It says in'Awn al-Ma'bood(14/90):
"the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) poked him in
the ribs with a stick" i.e., he struck him by way of joking and
playing. "He" i.e., Usayd "said: Let me retaliate" i.e., allow me to
poke you in the ribs as you poked me in the ribs. "Retaliate"i.e.,
take your revenge.
"and kissed his side" – the Arabic word translated as "side" refers to
the area on the side of the body between the lowest rib and the hip.
"He said: This is all I wanted" that is, all I wanted by saying let
me retaliate was to kiss you, and I did not really want to retaliate.
End quote.
-3-
The hadith also contains a number of reprehensible and odd things,
such as the following:
"The first one who will offer the funeral prayer for me is the Lord,
may He be glorified and exalted, from above His Throne" – does Allah
offer the funeral prayer for anyone?! This is a reprehensible lie of
the fabricators.
"When the soul reached the knees, the Messenger of Allah (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said: 'Ouch!' When the soul reached
the navel, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
cried out: 'How stressful it is!' When the soul reached the chest, the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cried out: 'O
Jibreel! How difficult are the throes of death!'"
The problem here is that this gives the impression that the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was displeased and panicked
at the time of death, but he is far above such a thing.
"We said takbeer following the takbeer of Jibreel (peace be upon him),
and we offered the funeral prayer for the Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), led by Jibreel (peace be
upon him) in prayer"
it is not known that the angels ever led the Muslims in prayer; rather
this is one of the odd things that were narrated by the suspect
narrators.
And Allah knows best.

the navel, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
cried out: 'How stressful it is!' When the soul reached the chest, the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cried out: 'O
Jibreel! How difficult are the throes of death!'"
The problem here is that this gives the impression that the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was displeased and panicked
at the time of death, but he is far above such a thing.
"We said takbeer following the takbeer of Jibreel (peace be upon him),
and we offered the funeral prayer for the Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), led by Jibreel (peace be
upon him) in prayer"
it is not known that the angels ever led the Muslims in prayer; rather
this is one of the odd things that were narrated by the suspect
narrators.
And Allah knows best.
